Busheri's patient and informative text and Halberstadt's playfully expressive drawings convey the future rabbi's courage and humility, as well as the loving support of his devoted wife, Rachel. The book works on several levels: as an introduction to the life of Rabbi Akiva, as a message about the value of persistence in the face of obstacles, and as an homage to the strong woman whose faith in her husband enabled his success... The lovely subtlety of Halberstadt's style shines from every page. A range of colors from pastel to deep earth tones complements the line drawings... In their conclusion, the author and illustrator deliver a powerful message about lifelong learning as a diverse group of people proudly announce the skills they have acquired at different ages. It would be difficult to think of a more relevant or important message for everyone... This highly recommended book includes a summary from the Midrash Hagadol about the story which inspired the book.

Synopsis
This is a beautifully told story, based on Midrash Hagadol, about how Rabbi Akiva overcame his fear of embarrassment to go from humble shepherd to legendary Jewish leader, with a little help from his clever wife and a donkey with a garden on its back., When Akiva and his wife Rachel walk past a school one morning, Akiva looks in sadly. Unlike the children, he has never learned to read or write.'Wouldn't you like to go inside and learn with them?' Rachel asks. But Akiva fears the children will laugh at him.Rachel has an idea. She buys a donkey, plants a garden on its back and insists that she and Akiva take it with them to market. When they arrive, people laugh and point at such an unusual sight. The following morning, when Akiva refuses to join the children at school, Rachel suggests they go back to the market. Once again, the donkey attracts attention and laughter. On the third morning, Akiva refuses school again and returns to the market with Rachel and the donkey. But this time, nobody laughs or points. Instead, people come to take a closer look at the donkey, pick flowers from its back and pluck grapes from its vine. Finally, Akiva realizes what Rachel has been trying to tell him.Akiva enrolls in the school. He soon gets over his nerves and the children get used to his presence. He studies so hard that eventually he becomes a great scholar - the famous Rabbi Akiva who is still revered today.This is a beautifully told story, based on Midrash Hagadol, about how Rabbi Akiva overcame his fear of embarrassment to go from humble shepherd to legendary Jewish leader, with a little help from his clever wife and a donkey with a garden on its back.
