"This picture book for older readers captures the magic and mystery of an early Egyptian creation myth in both its evocative language and innovative art . . . Daly’s characters look as
if they’ve stepped from hieroglyphics, but the art isn’t static in any way; it has a sort of wildness that reflects the passion of a story that has endured for more than 5,000 years."
BOOKLIST (Starred Review)

"Daly's stylized, willowy figures shine against elegant backgrounds of rich, jewel-like blues and greens … the author's lustrous imagery and poetic tone give this ancient story a fresh
feel with much appeal”
