The Enduring Ark

About This Book

This is an Indian reimagining of Noah’s Ark, illustrated with vivid West Bengali Patua scroll paintings and told through Gita Wolf’s lyrical prose. What makes it special is the accordion fold: you can read it as a traditional picture book or extend the whole thing into one flowing scroll to see the water and sky sweep across your lap. It’s both a story about rebuilding after disaster and a work of folk art that invites children to linger over every brushstroke and color.
