Synopsis

Moses had grown up in Pharaoh's palace, but he knew he was a Hebrew — the son of an enslaved people. After a long exile in the desert, God appeared to him in a burning bush and sent him back to Egypt with a message: "Let my people go." Moses stuttered and was afraid, but God does not choose the capable — he empowers the chosen.

Pharaoh hardened his heart ten times. Ten plagues shook Egypt, each one revealing that Pharaoh's gods were not real gods. When Pharaoh finally gave in, the people of Israel went out for the first time in hundreds of years — free. But when they saw the Egyptian army behind them and the Red Sea ahead, fear returned. Then Moses stretched his staff over the waters, and a path opened where there was none.

In the OwLira book, Moses and the Red Sea is told in five illustrated chapters, with the owl mascot accompanying each teaching pause. The child learns that the greatest obstacles are sometimes the way forward — and that the God who parts seas also opens paths in everyday life.
