Once upon a Time .: A Children's Story

The book traces the birth of a baby boy, and tells a narrative about how he grew up, in the days before there were shops, cars, planes and trains, to care about those who were poor, needy and ill, and how the rest of us should share our resources with those less fortunate. I was inspired to write this because I was talking to my daughter about simple ways to discuss good moral values with my young grandchildren. We could find nothing suitable in book stores.
