Spirin's illustrations bring to life the psalm in which God is compared to a shepherd caring for His flock. Lush oil paintings recall classical religious artworks with their formal compositions and white-robed angels; gold endpapers add elegance. Readers get a strong sense of reverence and solemnity. A removable foldout poster showing the book's entire pastoral display is attached.
