About this product

This interpretation of the familiar biblical story of the Exodus shifts the focus to Moses’ older sister Miriam, whose bravery and celebratory dance provided hope for her people during a dark and dangerous journey, and shows how emotional needs can be as important as physical ones.

The Israelites are fleeing slavery in Egypt. There is no time to pack, but Miriam brings her timbrel and her dancing shoes. Her brother Moses is frustrated, “We’re running for our lives, not planning a party!” But when they need to cross the Red Sea, it is Miriam who keeps their spirits up, leading her people in a dance towards freedom.

"The uplifting message is about finding reasons to celebrate the successes of life, even when times are tough."—School Library Journal

"A joyfully imaginative take on a key biblical tale."—Kirkus Reviews

"Deep, bold, rich­ly col­ored illus­tra­tions draw read­ers into the sto­ry and pro­vide an atmos­phere of hope and joy."—Jewish Book Council

"Joy, hope, and humor propel a charming, fast moving vignette of Miriam’s role in the dramatic climax to the Exodus from Egypt." —An Association of Jewish Libraries Holiday Highlights book!
