Nachson Who Was Afraid to Swim. Available in Soft Cover and Hard Cover.  By Deborah Bodin Cohen, illustrated by Jago. Winner of the 2009 Sugarman Family Award for Jewish Children's Literature. "Cohen succeeds in transporting the Exodus story to a personal scale without robbing it of significance. Jago's highly stylized...pictures are handsome and heartfelt: his gold-hued palette and mural-like compositions convey the heat and oppressiveness of Egypt, while his elaborately textured (and seemingly handmade) surfaces make the pages feel burnished by the forces of history and faith." –Publishers Weekly.

Ages 3-8, Grades PreK-2, 32 pages, 10-1/4" x 8-1/4"
