The story of Noah’s ark filled with animals, and the terrible flood that covered the earth, has always held particular appeal for children–and great fascination for artists. This retelling, faithful to the spirit of the Bible text, is graced with distinctive illustrations by internationally acclaimed artist Lisbeth Zwerger. Fanciful yet reverent, her full-page pictures and charming vignettes offer an imaginative interpretation of this favorite Old Testament story.
Heinz Janisch was born in Austria in 1960. He was nominated for the 2009 Lindgren Me- morial Award and the 2010 Hans Christian Andersen Award.
Lisbeth Zwerger has been accorded nearly every prize that can be given, including the highest international award for lifetime achievement, the Hans Christian Andersen Medal. Since 1981 she has devoted her extraordinary talents to children’s literature, to stories as charming and picturesque as her native Vienna. Always surprising, always engaging, her artwork combines technical mastery with an insight and gentleness so rare and captivating that she has been correctly called one of the finest illustrators of the twentieth century.
