(3) K-3 Illustrated by Pamela Dalton. Paterson's reworking of Saint Francis of Assisi's famous prayer is poetic, contemporary, and deeply reverent: "We praise you for our Sister Earth...as she sustains our bodies with food and our souls with beauty." Dalton's remarkable cut-paper and watercolor illustrations elegantly reinforce the tone of Paterson's words. Appended author's and illustrator's notes tell more about their creative process.
