Rahab and the Red Cord: Little Lamb Rhymes

High walls, guarded gates, and a city on edge set the scene for one woman’s quiet courage. When two strangers arrive at her door, Rahab must choose between playing it safe or risking everything to protect them. A single red cord in her window becomes the secret sign that ties her family to a promise and turns an ordinary house on the wall into the safest place in Jericho.Inside those stone walls, children crowd together, listening to distant trumpets and the thump of marching feet while grownups trade worried looks. The story follows Rahab as she gathers her family, explains the strange sign in her window, and holds to the promise she has been given when nothing around her feels steady. Young readers see fear, kindness, and bravery from the inside, through the eyes of a household waiting to see what the God of Israel will do.Told in warm, gentle language and filled with child friendly tension, this book invites families to talk about trust, keeping promises, and caring for the people under their roof. The scenes are written to feel vivid and close, so children can imagine the rooftop talk, the red cord against the stone, and the days of strange marching outside the walls. It is a story meant to be read aloud, hugged close, and remembered whenever a small act of courage could change everything.
