5. Bedtime Stories of 'Abdu'l-Bahá - The Knight (MIGHTY)

In this episode we read the story The Knight and learn about how 'Abdu'l-Bahá saved Haifa and Akka from starvation during WW2 and was Knighted by the British Government for his acts of bravery and compassion.

Join us at bedtime as I read a short story about 'Abdu'l-Bahá, also known as The Master, to my two elementary school ages children. We are reading from the new book MIGHTY written by Shirin Taherzedeh and beautifully illustrated by Alissa De Asis. We were generously sent a PDF copy and we highly highly recommend you check out their website and order yourself a book here: CLICK

Show Notes:

* ‘Abdu’l-Bah was in the USA in 1912, and not 1921.

"In spite of danger [during the war], ‘Abdu’l-Bahá stayed calm. He helped families move to the safety of the countryside. He encouraged farmers to grow extra grain on land he owned. Some of the harvest was hidden in ancient Roman storage pits so the Turkish army wouldn’t seize it. The grain helped feed the hungry people of ‘Akká and Haifa when warships prevented food from reaching them."
