    About this ebook

    Chito is a bored, restless young fly who desires adventure! He especially doesn’t like how his daily home school and weekly Bible routine interrupts his freedom. Excited about his first adventure, he strays far from home, unaware of the surprise that awaits him. Framed in Bible verse, That the Lord May Whistle describes the importance of Shabbat/Sabbath, or the day of rest in the Lord. This unique explanation of the power of respect ultimately offers a resolution that is both entertaining and educating for children ages four to eight.
