Reading Guide: Vapor and Rain

Rain isn't something to dread. It's God's shower of blessing that helps the earth produce what we need to eat and grow. Our Vapor & Rain Compass Box equips children to make connections between the various states and stages in the water cycle and enjoy the story of Noah again through this lens.

Along with each Compass Box comes a list of hand-picked books that bring the topic studies to life in a way that allows little ones to see God at work in the world around them. Here are a few of our favorites to accompany the April 2022 Compass Box.

Noah's Ark: Best Water Cycle Story

As the Living Word of God, the Bible is teeming with captivating stories about all aspects of creation. In Genesis 6-9, we find the story of Noah's ark -- God's ultimate lesson on the water cycle.
