Exodus, by Rachel Hausfater and illustrated by Solal Frydman

A tender, moving song about childhood exodus with stricking illustrations, from darkness to light.

In a setting aglow with the last rays of the setting sun, a desperate mother begs her daughter to flee a desperate situation. She entreats her to leave, to begin anew, using tender, urgent words to shield her daughter from the wind, carry her across the seas, and propel her to a new destination.

Rachel Hausfater’s poignant text is heightened by Solal Frydman’s dreamy illustrations of nightfall and dawn that will have readers experiencing the narrator’s feelings of anguish, loss, love, and hope as if they were their very own.
