What is Shem, The Worried Sparrow about?

Shem is a little sparrow with a very big worry. As dark clouds gather and rain begins to fall, he wonders what will happen to the animals, the people and his own tiny nest. Through Shem’s watchful eyes, readers experience the dramatic story of Noah’s Ark, from fear and uncertainty to safety and hope. This gentle Bible retelling reminds children that even the smallest creatures are seen, valued and cared for.
