The book narrates the well-known story of Moses, focusing on his miraculous survival as a baby and his eventual rise as a leader of his people. Set in the context of ancient Egypt, it touches on themes of faith, love, and God's providence. The narrative begins with Jochebed, Moses's mother, who hides her baby from the Egyptian authorities' cruel decree to drown all Hebrew boys. In a desperate yet hopeful act, she places the infant in a waterproof cradle among the bulrushes of the Nile. When Pharaoh's daughter discovers the baby, she adopts him and names him Moses, ensuring his survival. As Moses grows up, he grapples with his identity and ultimately chooses to stand with his oppressed people. The story progresses through his flight to the desert, the divine calling from God through the burning bush, and his journey leading the Israelites out of Egypt. Throughout the tale, Steedman emphasizes the importance of trust in God and the power of love, making it a meaningful story for young readers.
