God told Noah to build a big ark, enough to carry one male and one female of every creature, because God was sending a big flood.

Noah obeyed God. He tried to warn others about the coming flood, but no one listened.

God told Noah the rain would come soon. Noah loaded his family into the ark, then led the animals aboard. He took seven pairs of clean animals and only one pair of unclean animals.

Then it started to rain. The rain poured down until the earth was covered with water. After forty days the rain stopped.

Weeks later, the flood waters started to go away. Noah sent out a dove. When the bird did not return, Noah knew it had found land.

Noah, his family, and the creatures left the ark. Noah and his family prayed and thanked God for saving them.

God promised Noah that he would never destroy the earth with a flood again. God made a beautiful rainbow in the sky to seal his promise.
