For 40 days and nights as the Ark tosses on storm-wracked seas, Noah's wife Naamah sings until all the animals and her family are all asleep, finally at peace. Acclaimed author Bartoletti's rhythmic, lyrical text pairs with Caldecott Honor winner Meade's luminous collage for a cozy, tender lullaby, an ode to the power of song.

Media reviews

Lovely and lyrical...Bartoletti and Meade take a most familiar story and make it breathtakingly new.
—Booklist (starred review)

Sunlit figures with a peaceful absence of detail contrast with quietly dramatic, near-black silhouettes. Affection between pairs warms many a scene.
—The Horn Book (starred review)

The text has a lovely, soothing effect, with the repeated ending words and a lilting cadence that effectively suggests a comforting lullaby. Meade's watercolor collage illustrations match the dramatic pacing of the text with varied perspectives and humorous views of the sleeping (or prowling) animals. . . . This captivating interpretation creates a remarkable partner for Noah, who uses her special talent in a memorable way.
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
