Description

Shmuel is eager to help support his poor family, but no one in town is interested in hiring a ten-year-old boy. One day, the village installs new electric lamps, bringing light to their square and dazzling away the dark. Until a lamp breaks during a storm--and Shmuel is the only one who can fix it. Will Shmuel be able to conquer his fear of heights and bring light back to his town? A gentle tale of bravery, empowerment and community, and the thrill of transformation.

Author Biography:

Sheila Baslaw began writing children's stories after a career in social work. Intrigued by the stories her parents told about growing up in a shtetl, she based Shmuel on her father's life as a Jewish child in Russia in the early 1900s. Sheila, now in her nineties, lives in Ottawa and enjoys walking with friends and belongs to study, writing, and poetry groups.
