The Longest Night A Passover Story by Laurel Snyder illustrated by Catia Chien*

The Israelite Exodus from Egypt  told from a child's point of view.
Rhyming text.  The shades of color match the mood/tone of the story.
I found it interesting that the one plague-beasts roaming the streets- was one I had never read about in the book of Exodus.  I looked it up and the plague of flies could be translated as a mix of beasts.
God is not mentioned in the story.
*Highly recommend.
