Indigenous Rising

My daughter and I went (used) book shopping and picked up a number of books. My daughter found this book, The Edge of the River, written by Bob Hartman and illustrated by Michael McGuire. It is a religious book meaning to depict Moses as a baby going down the river and being found by an Egyptian woman. I am not religious, especially not Catholic, Christian, or Jewish, but I skimmed through the book anyways and was troubled by the illustrations.

I may be wrong but I thought the woman who found Moses, in the fairytale, was an Egyptian woman.. All the characters in this book are white people…

This is whitewashing.
