Little Henry is taken hostage by a band of robbers and lives for years in a deep, dark cave. When he stumbles upon a crevice in the wall, he escapes to the land above and experiences with wonder the brilliance of the sun and the magnificence of the vast blue sky. Through the friendship of a shepherd, he learns about the miracle of a tiny seed and the expression of love it represents. This creative work will give you a fresh appreciation for the natural wonders of creation that we so often take for granted.
