I came from the water by Vanita Oelschlager and Mike Blanc

I read I came from the water by Vanita Oelschlager and illustrated by Mike Blanc. The book told of Moses, a young Haitian boy. He survived a hurricane because his relatives placed him in a basket and sent him down the river (Similar to Moses in the bible). He was rescued by Nuns in an orphanage. Moses does not let his setbacks stop him. He wants to help. I highly recommend reading this book. The book was a quick read on Reader for PC. The graphics were amazing, as normal. This book was based on a real-life story. Vanita has an interview with Moses at the end of the book. She also placed pictures of the church, orphanage, and hospitals. Finally, she provides a brief history of the 2010 Haiti Earthquake.
