In his poetic text, Wood describes how all the elements of nature, including people, participate in the ongoing creation of the world. The watercolor, colored pencil, and acrylic illustrations, featuring scenes from around the world, help unify the text. Though children figure prominently in both text and artwork, the concept of the book may appeal more to adults.
