A long time ago a wise man named Shaddai built a wonderful village for children to live in. He talked to them and sang for them and told them stories. He gave them everything they needed. And with his own hands Shaddai built a protective wall around their village, rock by rock.

He did all of this for just one reason--because he loved them.

One day Paladin, the village's most curious child, discovers something troubling about the wall. Something that makes him wonder about Shaddai's love. Could there be a mistake?

Young Paladin is about to discover the answer. And when he does, he will come to understand just how deeply he is loved.

Review: This book was a loving caretaker who looked after children, he built a small set of terrain to keep them safe and to keep them from straying, eventually one of them does and when he does that the caretaker goes to look after him to bring him back. This book was fictional because it would not be possible for a man to be able to do what the caretaker did in the way he did like, know when one of the children would be missing.
