Advent Day 4 – Noah and the New Beginning – A Bible Story and Some Activities for the Family

Activities for Advent Day 4

Yesterday, we talked about how Sin had entered the world and how Adam and Eve were ejected from Eden. After that, people became more and more evil. In this video, God chose to destroy all the wicked people in the world with a flood, but he saved Noah, his family, and a male and female of each animal species.

Peter Spier created an award-winning picture book Noah’s Ark. His illustrations won the Caldecott Medal, which is the highest award given for picture books, His book was published by Penguin Random House, My picture book The Donkey’s Song was published by Doubleday for Young Readers, which is a division of Penguin Randon House,
