PS
Rylant relates the creation story, adapted from the book of Genesis in the King James Bible, with utmost simplicity. "God created every living creature that moved: the beasts / the birds / and the creeping things." Her acrylic-painted spreads, with saturated, rich colors and stunning textured brush strokes, enhance the quiet pacing as the biblical story unfolds.
