The Small One, illustrated by Jesse Clay. New York: Scholastic, 1995.
This book is excellent for students to read, because it identifies a different culture other than one of cars, skyscrapers, and excessive amounts of food. It is a great choice for a classroom, because it is very cultural by taking place in Nazarath, and it shows a lesson of helping friends when they are in need.
