Yakov And The Seven Thieves

These are hard-driving times at work, and so it was no surprise that co-worker Frank came banging at my door, demanding my focused attention. But it wasn't the anomalies of Fairbanks weather that needed attention, but rather that his daughter Mia really liked a certain book, "Yakov And The Seven Thieves", written by Madonna, and illustrated by Gennady Spirin.

I read the book (in work-mode, it took five minutes to read, plus another ten to look at the fabulous illustrations), and I liked it as well. Madonna and Spirin are an excellent team, and the Russian/Karbala inspirations have served them well.
