Revel in the quiet beauty of Katherine Paterson and Pamela Dalton’s Brother Sun, Sister Moon. Adapted from Saint Francis of Assisi’s Canticle of the Creatures, this paean to the sacred simplicity of life forms a transcendent understanding of God through the simple glory and wonder of existence. Paterson’s compelling text radiates spiritual energy, reverent verses celebrating the sun, the moon, wind, water, fire, and death. Dalton’s art employs bold design, the black backgrounds providing stark contrast with the resplendent heraldic images of humans and nature. #brother #sun #sister #moon #wind #water #fire #death #life #nature #world #book #books #picturebook #picturebooks #picturebookillustration #childrensbookillustration #childrensliterature #illustration #kidlit #kidsbooks #bookworm #booklover #booklovers #bibliophile #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookstagrammers #instabook #instabooks
