Told from the perspective of a slave girl in Egypt, she laments the difficult labor they must endure and also narrates the occurrences of the ten plagues, their escape and crossing the Red Sea. The rhyming text in couplet form make this book appealing to young readers.
Wonderful vocabulary for young readers too (trudged, unraveled, nudged, cistern, matted, whirring, scrambling, throng, hurtled).
The author is Jewish.
Strategies: figurative language/inferring
*Highly recommend.
-Borrowed from the library.
