Shaddai, a wise and loving man, builds a wonderful village for his children, but when one of them chooses to go out into the dangerous wilderness, Shaddai does not abandon him.

Because I Love you is a great description of a Folktale because it written as if it has been told for generations. The story is also has a great moral and a great truth at the end which is what many folktales include.
Paladin is the main character in the story and through the mistake and moral that he teaches gives excitment to the reader. He has adventure which intrigues the reader and keeps them focuesed on the plot. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0891079920, Hardcover)

There once lived a wise man named Shaddai who built a wonderful village for children to live in--and built a wall around it--because he loved them. Then one day the village's most curious child found a hole in the wall and crawled through it, despite Shaddai's warnings. Shaddai's response to Paladin's choice in this fully illustrated story reveals to children how very much God loves them, and the lengths He will go to help and protect them.
