"Do you know the biblical story of Noah and the ark and the flood which covered the whole earth? In "The Elephant and the Dove" Author Lenie Nilsen provides young readers with a beautifully illustrated account, portrayed through the eyes of two elephants - Essie and Sortie, and a little white dove called Sweetie. In the story, the animals were saved from perishing in the flood because Noah obeyed God. Lenie has sensitively captured the animals' feelings and thoughts. Her passion to share God's Word to others clearly shows in her writing. What a tremendous work - well worth reading " Stephanie R. Smyth
