THE GIANT LEAF: TAKE A GIANT LEAF OF FAITH

THE GIANT LEAF: TAKE A GIANT LEAF OF FAITH by Davy Liu and Douglas Wood

What do you get when you take two guys who have worked for top notch movie producers such as Disney, Steven Spielberg, Universal Studios and more who desire to share a more Biblical message in their works? You get Bible story retellings like The Giant Leaf. The Giant Leaf is a story based on Noah's Ark but told from the animals' perspective.

The world is becoming a dangerous place and Kendu, the fox, dreams of freedom, but his dreams always involve something that resembles a giant leaf that he can't make sense of. Then, there's the whispers about the giant Animal Eater and the many animals who are disappearing. It's enough to make any animal very afraid, but not all is as Kendu thinks it is. Someone is orchestrating a plan of rescue, and they have Kendu and the other animals personally in mind. The Giant Leaf is a story of friendship, courage, and ultimately salvation.

This is definitely a very unique version of the Noah's Ark story. It might take a little pondering to really understand the storyline and the beauty of it. However, the illustrations are absolutely marvelous! I don't know quite how to describe them except to say that they are very rich with a Disney-type element to them. They are delightfully eye catching. I will include a sample in the comments!
