This book is set in ancient Egypt.

Let me set the scene for you- a marvelous boy filled with curiosity and optimism is enamored by every single thing that catches his eye, he finds beauty in all things. This boy, Bezalel, turns out to be, among other Israelites, a slave.

However, his genuine curiosity and appreciating for all things- mostly forgotten- is refreshing. His clinginess to his ‘beautiful things box’ definitely hits home.
