When Love Walked the Earth retells an Egyptian myth about good leadership and familial love.
Chiphe stuffs the book with helpful information, including maps, vocabulary words, teaching guides, and constellations. The myth is thoroughly researched, as seen through the list of relevant references in the back, a nice touch. Each portion of the myth is accompanied by a watercolor.
The layout doesn’t work as well, with most of the pictures looking small on the page and a bit squashed.
The story is a myth many readers might be unfamiliar with; Isis and Osiris are names often referred to without context and it’s interesting to see them acting as a loving family. Kindle Unlimited readers might find this a handy intro to Egyptian storytelling.
