Whenever writers retell the story of Noah's Ark, I can't help thinking, "Not another one." So often people focus on the immensity of the ark versus the grandeur of God and the obediance and faith behind the construction. This is why I loved Le Tord's Noah's Trees. The title itself reveals that it is more a story about Noah, obediance, and God's creation than a story about the famous Ark. In the captivating watercolors, children can see the man whose faith lead him to follow God and the God given tools he used to do so. The story is a beautiful insight into the world of Noah and for anybody looking for a new way to share obediance to God, this book is the answer.
