The Babe in the Bulrushes

The Babe in the Bulrushes

Amy Steedman

Children's Literature

The story of Moses begins with a mother's impossible choice. When Pharaoh orders all Hebrew baby boys drowned, a desperate mother places her infant in a basket of bulrushes and sets him adrift on the Nile. What follows is one of history's most remarkable rescues: the baby is discovered by Pharaoh's daughter, raised as a prince in the palace of his enemies, and saved by a chain of unlikely events that defied all probability. But the child who floats to safety in a basket will one day return to demand freedom for his people. This early 20th century retelling brings the biblical narrative to vivid life for young readers, exploring the depths of maternal love, the mystery of providence, and the courage it takes to stand against empire. It is for children who long for stories where the powerless are saved and the smallest voices matter.
