(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jago. Nachshon, a Jewish slave, grows up longing for freedom and fearing only swimming. Moses helps him overcome his fear when the Israelites are forced to flee Egypt. Cohen's text is accessible, and Jago's illustrations in yellows, oranges, and browns dramatically convey the dry heat of the Egyptian desert.
