About this book
Along the Nile, Jochebed places her baby in a covered basket among the bulrushes, hoping that Pharaoh's daughter will find him. Amy Steedman retells the story of Moses for young readers, beginning with the danger facing Hebrew families in Egypt. Miriam watches nearby, ready to help when the princess discovers the child. The account follows Moses from his early care at home to palace life and the call to lead his people out of bondage.
Another Old Testament story turns to Ruth and Naomi as they arrive in Bethlehem with little to live on. Ruth gathers grain left behind by the reapers, and Boaz offers help in his harvest field. Steedman explains unfamiliar circumstances through family needs, spoken exchanges and concrete details of daily work. Read together, these stories offer an accessible introduction to biblical themes of faith, loyalty and care for people in difficulty.
