About the Author
Born in County Cork, Father Michael McCarthy now lives in Sherburn-in-Elmet, Yorkshire. His poems have been published in a variety of literary magazines and in 1997 he won the Patrick Kavanagh Award for Birds' Nests and Other Poems. He has also written The Story of Daniel and the Lions' Den, for Barefoot Books also illustrated by Giuliano Ferri. Giuliano Ferri graduated from the Art Institute of Urbino, Italy, where he specialised in animation. He has since worked as a full-time illustrator and his art has been exhibited worldwide, from the Pompidou Centre in Paris, to the Itabashi Art Museum in Tokyo. Giuliano has also illustrated The Story of Daniel and the Lions' Den (2003) and How Do Animals Say Hello? (1997).
From School Library Journal
reS-Gr 3-Despite the amount of research outlined in his author's note, McCarthy fails to provide fresh insights or interpretations of the Noah story. The rhymes in the text are predictable in most cases and labored in others, such as "family" and "dearly" or "drown" and "plan." Noah and family follow God's instructions to build the ark and gather animals. When the storm subsides, a dove finds signs of dry land. After the disembarkation, the family thanks God, who responds with the rainbow of promise. Ferri's watercolor and colored-pencil illustrations soar above the lackluster text. The panoramas of the pounding waves and winds of the storm and the animals descending Mount Ararat are especially striking. The placement of text and pictures is well considered and visually pleasing. When a single page is devoted to an illustration, the facing text page has smaller pictures above and below to complement the larger one. Anyone in search of rhymed Noah stories should consider Barbara Reid's Two by Two (Scholastic, 1996), Fiona French's Rise and Shine (Little, Brown, 1989; o.p.), or Pam Paparone's Who Built the Ark? (S & S, 1994). If a collection needs another Noah book, Ferri's illustrations merit consideration, but it's hard to recommend this book as a first purchase.
