Synopsis
A melodic narration, accompanied by sumptuous full-color illustrations inspired by the artist's Gullah childhood, provides a lyrical retelling of the story of Noah, the building of the ark, the coming of the animals, and the great flood.

From Publishers Weekly
Gauch's lilting prose-poem provides a graceful, animated underpinning for forceful, elegant oil paintings that locate the story of the Flood in an African setting. Green ( Father and Son ) deploys a palette of sparkling, jewel-like colors: ruby accents set off the plumage and skins of the birds and reptiles who gather at the ark; the brilliant emerald of the savannah plays up the hides of elephants, zebras, and other beasts. Noah is stately and regal in bearing though humbly dressed; ebony-black, he is patriarch of a clan of many hues. Green's use of sunlight and shadow adds richness and texture to his scenes, and he takes full advantage of the story's inherent symmetry (the animals, of course, come two-by-two), creating immensely pleasing visual echoes. A fresh, provocative interpretation, in which the spirited, rhythmic telling (it rains for "one day, two days, three days, four, five days, six days and seven days more") and vibrant visuals seem, like the ark's inhabitants, perfectly paired. Ages 3-up.

From Kirkus Reviews
In a simple, invitingly cadenced retelling beginning, ``Here is Noah with grace in his eyes,/Here are his sons/right by his side,'' Gauch adheres closely to the events described in the Bible, from God's command to Noah to build an ark to his family's planting a garden after the animals have finally left them ``happily alone.'' Green, whose debut in Lauture's Father and Son (1992) was widely praised, draws again on his Gullah heritage for paintings in lustrous saturated colors. He depicts most of the humans as black (though one son's wife has blue eyes), and makes creative use of the text's reiterated ``two by two'' in his handsome compositions. Proof positive that, when it comes to books about Noah, there is always ``room for one more.'' (Picture book. 3-8) -- Copyright ©1994, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
