A master of silent storytelling imagines a future Noah's Ark in a bright, illustrated science fiction fairy tale about our changing world.

The Earth has flooded. The only signs of humanity are the wet structures they left behind. Rising from the flood are the ruins of a zoo, home to rare and endangered animals, survivors of long neglect. The sensitive NOA is a construction robot who has found a new purpose as caretaker of the weary inhabitants of the zoo.

Preparing for the next storm, NOA builds an ark from the debris in search of new land, only to discover something even deeper. With endless understanding and vast scenes of sea and sky, interspersed with detailed silent panels for contemplation, Caldecott Honor-winning creator Aaron Becker delivers a timely and poignant message about the benefits of care even in the most difficult times, sure to inspire the dreamers among us.
