Reviews
Kirkus Reviews
“Large, mostly double-page paintings in soft yellow, tan and blue hues on a textured canvas reflect the intrigue, emotion and difficulty of the journey. Uncomplicated language expressed in a direct and honest voice plus vibrant illustrations make Israel’s Operation Moses easily accessible for early-elementary children.” —Kirkus Reviews
Jewish Journal
“The bright and beautiful illustrations help depict this true story, designed for children aged 5 to 9. Readers young and old will be moved by this endearing tale.” --The Jewish Journal
Publishers Weekly
“Though neither the story nor the author’s note explicitly state why the refugees are fleeing Ethiopia (mostly famine), readers should finish the book with a strong sense of their strength, faith, and determination.” —Publishers Weekly
