Jean Marzollo has written and illustrated a retelling of the Bible story about Miriam and her little brother Moses. With colorful drawings (watercolors) and cute little songs, this book is sure to be a hit with your kids. The little fish at the bottom of each page carry on a conversation amongst themselves about the story which is really something different in storytelling. My kids loved this book and I'm sure yours will too.

With cute, quirky illustrations and songs, Jean Marzollo brings us the story of Miriam and her famous brother Moses. This interactive book is sure to engage young readers. What makes the book interactive? The rich history found in the text as well as the illustrations.

Miriam sings cute little songs to the tune of "You Are My Sunshine." Children will probably find the song easy, fun and catchy thus enhancing the reading experience. Before turning the pages, the readers will encounter a curious group of fish at the bottom of each page. Full of questions, these fish invite the read to expect something neat on the next page!

There are quite a few books about Moses, but this one is special because it focuses on the older sister and her valuable role in saving her brother's life.

Illustrations that are simple almost to the point of abstract are present throughout Miriam And Her Brother Moses, a children's picture book based on the Biblical story of how Miriam rescued Moses as a baby, and how he grew up to free the slaves in Egypt. Jean Marzollo's timeless retelling of how one girl could change history by rescuing an infant in need, and the powerful bonds between adopted siblings, Miriam And Her Brother Moses is highly recommended.

I just bought Ms. Marzollo's two bible books Miriam and Her Brother Moses and Daniel in the Lion's Den. I saw them on the shelf at my local bookstore and thought they were adorable. And as I scanned through them, I thought that she had done an excellent job adapting the stories for kids.

I am so happy that there is a simple, but beautiful picturebook to teach our children the many blessings of the Bible. I plan on buying the whole series. I see that there are more to come!

Thank you Ms. Marzollo

This book is great for early elementary school age children. I was hoping for a book describing Miriam as an adult and her important role as the Israelites left Egypt. Although I was disappointed that it did not describe her later in her life, it is a great book showing her relationship with her little brother Moses. Illustrations are great!
