Noah's Ark

In this strikingly beautiful rendition of Noah and the Great Flood, Jerry Pinkney has integrated the well-known story from Genesis with masterful pencil and watercolor illustrations creating a stunning whole. Vibrant paintings evoke the tone of the story from lush, sweeping views of the Earth to intricate details of the massive ark, myriad animals, faithful Noah and his family, and finally to the restoration of the planet. The muted earth-toned colors are enlivened throughout with carefully placed touches of reds, blues, and greens. Pinkney captures the story’s joyous yet reverent mood with his vigorous, distinctive illustrations. A 2003 Caldecott Honor Book.
