About this book

Family favouritism and a brightly coloured coat stir resentment in Amy Steedman's retelling of the Old Testament story of Joseph. Jacob's younger son eagerly shares dreams in which his brothers bow before him, deepening their envy. When his father sends him to find them among the grazing flocks, their hostility turns the errand into a sudden separation from home and a forced passage to Egypt.

Written for children, the narrative combines direct conversation with clear explanations of feelings and choices. Joseph's experiences in service and prison lead to encounters with dreams whose meaning could affect a whole country. Faith in God, patient work and the wise use of responsibility shape the telling.
