Synopsis

Birds pray, trees pray, flowers pray, mountains pray, the winds and rain pray, rivers and the little insects pray as well. The whole earth is in constant prayer, and we can join with its great prayer, says award-winning author and illustrator Paul Goble.

Every element of creation from the magpie to the minnow glorifies God in its own way in this bold and brightly illustrated work, adapted from The Book of Common Prayer. Goble invites readers to join with the land and the animals in singing praise to God.

"Goble's sweeping vistas . . . show a gorgeous cross-section of God's gifts to the world." Children's Literature
