Based on the hymn "The Canticle of the Sun" by Francis of Assisi which was written in 1225, this book gives praise and thanks for all of creation -- for the sun, stars and moon, for the air, water, earth, wind and fire, for plants and animals, for the desert, mountain, rocks and sea. Lindbergh's rhythmic poem and Felstead's illustrations of watercolor, gouache and collage depicting each element of praise celebrate the beauty and diversity of this world in an environmental and spiritual picture book.
