Great information about Moses
Kids can learn about the Exodus of the Israelites in Danika Cooley’s newest three books in her Who, What, Why Series. Who was Moses?, What was the Tabernacle?, and Why Did the Exodus Happen? Are easy to understand and perfect for children to learn more about God through the stories of His people and the Bible.
Danika uses the English Standard Version Bible to quote verses and she does an excellent job pointing kids to Jesus and His sacrifice for us with each book topic.
Each book has approximately 90 pages. There’s no assigned number of pages for your child to read every day, so you and your child can take each book at his/her own pace. There are plenty of black and white pictures that go along well with each topic.
I love the free downloadable and printable lapbook elements that you can get for each book. They make the information really stick while the child does their hands–on activities. These lapbooks will be treasures for your child to look at in the future.
I highly recommend Danika Cooley’s Who, What, Why: Exodus series to any Christian family that wants their children to learn more about the Exodus, and also to any children church or Sunday school teacher who needs a quick lesson and project.

Interesting and engaging!
While Moses feels like a very well–known figure in scripture, I was surprised at some of the small details my kids, and even I, had forgotten or never picked up on. I appreciate how smoothly the author tells his story, every detail straight from scripture. The scripture quoted comes from both old and new testaments, which I love. I was an adult before I began to understand how the two are really one, intertwined and pointing backwards and forwards. So to have a resource that helps me emphasize this to my own kids is a great benefit!

Help Kids Learn From the Life of Moses
Moses was one of the most influential people in the Bible, but do your kids really know and understand his story? In Who Was Moses?, Danika Cooley leads kids on an engaging journey through the life of Moses not just so they are familiar with the stories recorded about him in the Bible but so they can learn some of what God wants to teach them today through the life of this incredible man. They’ll see Moses had strengths and weaknesses, just like we do. And they’ll see how he knew God face to face and yet still stumbled and made terrible mistakes. They will see God’s faithfulness to one of His prophets and His continued faithfulness to us today, and they will see how God was at work through the life of Moses to point His people toward the salvation He would one day bring through Jesus Christ. Throughout the book, Danika connects the Old Testament and the New Testament so kids can understand that the story of Moses isn’t just something that happened long ago but is something that still matters to us today. Danika has a gift for sharing deep, vital truth in a way that is fun and engaging for kids to read and understand. I highly recommend this book.

Connects Old Testament to New
This is what I love – Danika does not just present isolated Bible stories but shows how the Old Testament points to Christ. If you want a Gospel–centered resource, you will love these books.

living history book about Moses!
Who Was Moses? introduces us to Moses of the Bible with plain language / easy–to–understand narrative. This book is written for children, but without dumbing it down. It is informative and exciting. It is a great read–aloud book for the entire family. I love the timeline at the end to help us understand the story better. This is exactly what I look for when adding “living history” books to our library! I own the entire series and recommend them all! The illustrations are great, too!
