A lovely, quiet book, full of beautiful images. A prayerful book of praise for the senses God gave children to appreciate their surroundings. This will take adult involvement to engage children as readers.
The book is written in a poem fashion.
I like Rosemary Well's books, but I did not like this one. The story was relatively short and I did not appreciate the style of writing in poem. I think the story should have been longer and it should have been written in short sentences. I do think though that many Christians and its affiliates will enjoy this book as it's about God and his creations.
