In this gorgeously depicted and timeless story of friendship and perseverance, two snails journey to the ark. When Esther woke she knew something curious was happening-a storm was in the air. Not just any storm but the biggest storm the world had ever seen. In lyrical and rhythmic text, with a common refrain of hurry hurry, Esther makes her way to the ark, encountering other animals along the way. Joys, troubles, and journeys are best shared, and so Esther finds her friend Solomon and together-with the help of a small miracle-they find a way to safety. This heartwarming picture book celebrates the importance of community and helping others, featuring two brave snails who embark on the journey of a lifetime.
Praise for Snail' s Ark: "As the sky darkens and the air swirls, the previous collaborators (Dictionary for a Better World) conjure a snail' s-eye view of the desperate in-gathering, written in Latham' s rhythmic prose and rendered with visual urgency via Amini' s digitally enhanced acrylic-gouache collages. . . A sweet biblical retelling with deep resonance, the creators capture the many emotions of seeing a big event through small eyes. " -Publishers Weekly
