Noah Zark

When Noah's parents build a huge boat in the backyard to house his wide array of pets, he worries the animals will forget him. Instead, Noah learns a positive lesson about the power of friendship.

Noah Zark loves his many pets, from goats and penguins to giraffes and pigs. Unfortunately, that means the Zarks' house is very crowded. Noah's parents come up with a clever plan to handle their animal overload -- they build a giant boat (ala Noah's ark) in the backyard for the animals to share.

That's when Noah starts to worry. When his pets move into their new home, will they forget about him and never want to play?

Filled with bright, joyful illustrations, this endearing picture book about a boy who loves animals -- and the animals who love him -- sends a positive message about the power of creative problem-solving and the ability to adapt and grow with the help of those we care about most.

"Beautifully illustrated, this book may help kindle a child's appreciation for animals and might just spark a young imagination about the ways to care for pets and the creation." -- Rev. Betsy Singleton Snyder, author of Stepping on Cheerios: Finding God in the Chaos and Clutter of Life
