Spirin illustrates the creation story using text from the New International Version of the Bible. Detailed paintings show realistic figures and animals set within varied compositional configurations, including circles, half circles, and elongated archway shapes. The culminating page (also the book's jacket) shows five concentric circles with the early days of creation on the outside and Adam and Eve in the center.

Moser sets his version of the well-known psalm in the serenity of the Caribbean islands, showing a shepherd boy tenderly caring for his flock. Subdued paintings in muted shades of blue, brown, green, and stunning violet extend the text, underscoring its message of peace and assurance. An interlude of serenity in a tumultuous world.
