    Hi, my name is Linda, and I’m a baby giraffe! I was born right after the big flood, when the whole world was fresh and new.

    Her parents were beside her, sharing stories of their journey on the ark. 'God kept us safe,' they said, 'He will always take care of us.'

    My mom and dad told me that we were inside a huge boat called ark, and that God kept us safe during a big storm. They said the rain came for many, many days, and the water covered everything!

    When I was born, the land was finally dry, and the first thing I saw was a beautiful rainbow in the sky. It was so bright and colorful! I asked my mom what it was, and she told me something very special. She said, “That rainbow is God’s promise. He promised Noah, us, and all His creation that He’ll never flood the earth again.

    I love that rainbow. Every time I see it, I remember that God is good, just like my parents said. After I was born, we walked around this amazing new world. There were big trees with lots of yummy leaves, rivers with fresh water, and so much space to run and play. It felt like a dream!

    "Whenever I see a rainbow, I smile. It reminds me that God always keeps His promises. He kept my family safe, and He’s keeping me safe too. So, every day, I thank God for being so good to us and for filling our world with love and kindness.

    "I can’t wait to see more rainbows! They’re my favorite, because they remind me that God’s love is always with me—just like it’s with you too!"
