"Nachshon Who Was Afraid to Swim: A Passover Story" by Deborah Bodin Cohen tells the story of Nachshon, a young boy who faces his fear of water during the Israelites' escape from Egypt. As the Red Sea stands in their way, Nachshon must overcome his anxiety to help his people escape slavery. Through courage and faith, he takes the leap into the sea, which miraculously parts, allowing everyone to cross safely. This beautifully illustrated tale highlights themes of bravery, hope, and the significance of Passover, teaching children about overcoming fears and the power of belief in the face of adversity.
