This book tells the story of Joseph. He is the favorite of his father, and his brothers are jealous of him. They become even more angry with Joseph when their father makes him a coat of many colors, and Joseph has a dream that his family is going to bow down to him. The brothers throw him into a ditch, but then a group of Egyptians pass by and they decide to sell him instead. After Joseph is accused of something he didn't do, he is thrown in jail. He is still able to get by because of his ability to interpret dreams. He comes a leader, and his family come to his area one day because there is a famine at home, and they need food. They bow down to Joseph, not recognizing him, and Joseph frames one brother making it look like he stole something. However he can't stay mad at his brothers and he forgives them. He allows his family to stay in Egypt with him, so they can share in the blessings God has given him. This would be a good story to read to children, so they can become familiar with the Bible and the biblical characters that may be alluded to in literature later on. I enjoyed that the book took a story from the Bible and made it feel like any picture book a child may want to read.
