A baby boy is hidden in a basket floating on the Nile. A fearful mother sings a song of protection. And a brave big sister seeks a chance to save her brother.
Meet the family of baby Moses in this lyrical retelling, and see how God’s faithfulness can be revealed through one small person who takes a big risk for someone she loves.
“With imagery reminiscent of Psalm 91, Roth imagines what it must have been like for Miriam and her mother to leave their baby in the reeds of the Nile. The themes of hiding in a strong rock and beneath the shadow of God’s wings echo Truth in this Story that is nicely told and expressively illustrated.” —Redeemed Reader
