Meet Dinah.

Jacob and Leah's daughter.

Dinah: a quiet historically appropriate setting for Jacob and Leah's daughter, with simple understated contextual details; no invented dramatic event

Who was Dinah?

Dinah was the daughter of Jacob and Leah. Genesis names her in the family and later tells a painful account of violence against her. She should be treated as a person deserving dignity, not as someone to blame.

The later account tells of harm to Dinah and further violence by her brothers. For younger readers, begin with her place in the family and the importance of protection and care.
