Synopsis
Daniel was a young Hebrew taken to Babylon after King Nebuchadnezzar conquered Jerusalem. In the court of King Darius, he stood out for his wisdom and his faithfulness to the God of Israel — even when it came at a very high price. Three times a day, before the open window, Daniel prayed. Not even the royal decree forbidding prayer to the one God could change this habit.
When the jealous advisers persuaded the king to throw Daniel into the lions' den, Darius spent the night without sleeping and without eating. At dawn, he ran to the pit and called out to the young man with a trembling voice. And Daniel answered: "My God sent his angel and shut the lions' mouths." The faithfulness that seemed like weakness before the powerful proved, that morning, to be stronger than any human decree.
In the OwLira book, Daniel in the Lions' Den is told in five illustrated chapters, with the owl mascot accompanying each teaching pause. The child learns what it means to stand firm in their own values and discovers that faithfulness — even when it is difficult — has a name and a reward.
