(3) K-3 Illustrated by David Diaz. Written in 1955, the inspirational song here appeals to both religious and secular audiences by offering alternative lyrics ("With God as our Father / With Earth as our Mother..."). Swirling computer-drawn illustrations feature international peace symbols including a Tibetan doe and Scandinavian mistletoe, with explanations of each in the end matter. A CD with twelve feel-good songs by Jackson and Miller and their daughter is included.
