Growing up on his father's farm, young Noah loves and cares for the animals, little knowing that one day when he was much older, God would choose him to save his family and animals of every kind from a catastrophic flood. Noah, along with his family, with faithfulness and determination take on God's plan - an ambitious project to build an ark, gather the animals, and prepare for the challenge of surviving the flood. As the first drops of rain fall, the trusting family crew and animal passengers settle into life on board.

How will their days pass with the monotony of the incessant rain, and then the long, long wait as the waters recede?

This is an epic story of great trust, supportive teamwork, and uplifting faithfulness.

An imaginative retelling of Noah's story.

I wholeheartedly commend this journey to you.' -- Revd Dr Mark Griffiths, author and former head of New Wine children and family ministry
'There is so much more to the biblical character of Noah: where did he and his family sleep? Why did he choose to send out a dove? This retelling will make children want to know how the story ends and what the new beginning looked like.' -- Debbie Duncan, author, nurse, teacher
