Everything is Made by God Everything we know was made by God. He made the sun and the moon.

He made trees and water.

He made the animals.

Some animals live in the sea.

8

Some animals live on the land.

Some animals can fly.

God also made people.

He made us as men and women.

God made everything. He said it was all very good.

Genesis 1-2

9

Safe in Noah’s Ark Many years went by. People on earth were getting evil. That made God very sad.

Only one man was good. His name was Noah. Noah stayed close to God.

10

God wanted to get rid of all the evil people.

But He wanted to keep Noah safe.

11

12

God decided to send a flood to wash away all the evil. He told Noah to build a big boat, called an ark.

Noah built the ark like God told him.

Noah and his family and all kinds of animals went inside the ark. The boat would keep them all dry and safe.

13

14

Noah’s family and the animals were inside the ark for many days and nights.

One day, the water was gone.

They could finally come out of the ark.

God made a big rainbow to say, “I will never flood the world again.”

Genesis 6:1-9:17

15

God’s Special People A man named Abraham and his wife Sarah had no children. They were old, so it was too late to have kids.

God promised Abraham a son. God always keeps His promises.

16

17

18

Abraham and Sarah had a boy named Isaac. When Isaac grew up, he had twins named Jacob and Esau. Jacob had a big family with lots of kids.

God chose Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob’s family to be His special people. This family would become the Israelites.

Genesis 15-21
