About this title

From the Publisher:

Tony Wright's magnificent, award-winning illustrations capture the spirit of this moving poem with a vision that is at once powerful, reverent and loving. St. Francis, the patron saint of ecology, believed that all nature is a mirror of God. In this beautiful poem, he praises the sun and moon, the water and wind, and Mother Earth. This is his simple, moving reminder that man and nature are part of the universal order of all things. Winner, Benjamin Franklin Award, First Prize, Religion/Metaphysics/Spirituality; Catholic Press Association Book Award, First Prize, Design and Production. Information on the beautiful original watercolors and limited edition lithographs featured in the book is available through the artist.

From the Author:

I have always loved this poem and for many years have wanted to find a way to make it accessible to everyone. Over the years, I have been astonished and delighted at the response I have received, from people from all over the world, all ages and walks of life, religious and secular, who feel the same way I do.
