Miriam in the Desert

This picture book features the journey of Moses and the Israelites through the desert including God’s gift of the Ten Commandments on Mt. Sinai.   The beautiful and brightly painted illustrations bring this story alive.  The characters of the story are very human, making it easier to relate to in the present day.  I especially enjoyed the Author’s notes at the end of the book which further explain the biblical references.  This book is a lovely addition to our catholic school library and I’m happy to have it as a resource for elementary teachers focusing on the Old Testament stories about Moses.
