emiged's review against another edition
4.0
The edition I read was actually titled "A Prayer for the Earth" and subtitled "The Story of Naamah: Noah's Wife."
Striking illustrations with vibrant colors and an amazing sense of movement. I love that Naamah was given a task by God, gathering seeds, that paralleled her husband's task of gathering animals. They each had an important work to do that fit into a single overarching goal. Naamah asked God for help when needed, but mostly she just buckled down and worked. Sasso and Andersen use deft touches of humor - the look on the seasick lion's face, Naamah bypassing the dandelions - to move the story along and prevent it from bogging down in earnestness.
