Inspired by St. Francis of Assisi's "Canticle of Brother Sun," this attractive picture book celebrates the natural world with song. The double-page spreads feature the months of the year: in each, full-page illustrations of nature scenes face a prayer, which is one stanza of the song included at the book's end. Elaborate borders--each one unique--frame the verse like a wreath, forming a lovely presentation.
