Before the sun rises over the Ethiopian mountains, Senvetu and his family begin preparations for the most special time of the week: the Sabbath, their Day of Delight. From blacksmithing, to gathering honey, grinding grain, and baking fragrant bread, Senvetu’s world is full of purpose, tradition, and community. With poetic prose by Maxine Rose Schur and vibrant illustrations by Caldecott Honor-awarded artist Brian Pinkney, this heartfelt story depicts a culture, a ritual, and a legacy of a unique community.
