About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the weight of expectation or the confusing discovery that their family history might be more complex than they realized. It is a powerful resource for children navigating the emotional landscape of adoption, cultural identity, or the sudden realization of social injustice. Madeleine L'Engle brings her signature depth to this retelling, making it more than a religious lesson: it is a study of a young man finding his conscience. The story follows Moses from his rescue from the Nile to his life as an Egyptian prince, and finally to his exile after a moment of impulsive, protective violence. It explores themes of belonging and the moral courage required to stand up for others, even when it costs you your status. While it serves as a foundation for biblical literacy, parents will find it most useful as a catalyst for discussing why we choose to do what is right over what is easy.
