Noah's rosy-cheeked granddaughter succinctly narrates this adaptation of the familiar Bible story, focusing on her interaction with the animals as they board, crowd together, and then disembark to regenerate the earth. Brett's realistic watercolor and gouache illustrations capture the smallest details, and their borders, which resemble papyrus, both frame the story and balance the somber mood.
