For six days each week, she and her owner would toil in the fields, and on the seventh day both would rest. Then it came to be that this young ox was sold. For six days, she toiled in her new owner's fields, and on the seventh day the farmer brought out the yoke and plow, expecting to spend another day hard at work. But Shoshi the ox had a different idea. In a warm, friendly narrative and vivid, humorous art, author Caryn Yacowitz and illustrator Kevin Hawkes bring to life a tale drawn from the ancient Jewish stories known as the Midrash, a story as relevant today as it was long ago. It's a tale of encountering other cultures and learning from them, of paying attention to the world around you--sun, breeze, animals, people--and above all, of learning to slow down and take a break.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Caryn Yacowitz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1536216542\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781536216547\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Candlewick Press (MA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/11\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 10.90w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/05\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2022 pg. 83\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/28\/2022 pg. 1","brand":"Caryn Yacowitz","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44073751249151,"sku":"9781536216547","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_98847bfe-39b6-4c86-8207-76431570fc5f.jpg?v=1685449684","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shoshis-shabbat-caryn-yacowitz-9781536216547","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
