Noah's Trees

(3) PS This simple book about environmental stewardship and renewal retains the spirit of the traditional Old Testament story. Noah lovingly plants and cares for trees that he intends as gifts for his sons. When God asks him to build an ark, however, Noah must use the trees for lumber. The hopeful ending has Noah boarding the ark with an armload of saplings. Le Tord's soft paintings are almost impressionistic in their depiction of a biblical world.
