Illustrated by
Mark Graham.
Emerson's familiar poem and prayer of thanksgiving for the natural world finds its modern complement in Graham's impressionistic paintings, which depict a family's overnight hike in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah. Both Emerson's evocative words and Graham's lush illustrations, in which the landscape is the dominant character, convey a reverence for nature. A short biography of Emerson is appended.
