Editorial Reviews

▼▲

"Confiding text and tender drawings distinguish this version of the story of Moses in Exodus…The transcendent power of loving relationships remains at the heart of this retelling." —Publishers Weekly

Hiding Baby Mosesis a Junior Library Guild Selection.

"Unreservedly recommended for family, daycare center, preschool, Sunday School, elementary school, and community library picture book collections." —Midwest Book Review

"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
