And There Was Evening, And There Was Morning

By Harriet Cohen Helfand and Ellen Kahan Zager

The world began when God said "Light,"
And changed the world from dark to bright.

Gentle rhyming couplets tell the story of how God created the world, describing six days of work fashioning everything from seas and clouds to animals and people, to—finally—resting on Shabbat.
