One of the most beautifully illustrated of Gennedy Spirin, this is the story of Moses from his beginning when fearing for his life, his mother placed him in a wicker basket in set it down the Nile river. Destined to be the leader and source of saving the Hebrew people.

This is an incredible book! As always, Spirin's illustrations are incredible. Pairing with Beneduce, always equates to a beautiful story filled with details.
