Abel Under the Table

A secular story. Abel Under the Table. A story based on the Hasidic tale, The Rooster Prince or The Turkey Prince told by Rabbi Nachman of Breslov. Abel is a little boy who thinks he is a rooster. It is his grandfather that see the wisdom in accepting Abel with uncondition, love, empathy, and joy. This is a book that introduces young audiences to confront differences and acceptance. I have included discussion questions to assist the reader. These questions were developed after speaking with a child psychiatrist, teacher and parents of young children.
