Illustrated by
Melanie Hall.
In a retelling of the story from Genesis, God creates humans "in Our likeness," and each animal shares a characteristic with the new humans, such as gracefulness from swans and curiosity from chimpanzees. Thus "nature [lives] in humankind." Hall's scratchboard and watercolor illustrations lend accessibility to Swartz's formal language, which echoes that of the Bible while bringing a modern sensibility to the story.
