Reviews
Grade 3-8-The joys of nature vividly come across in Graham's vibrant impressionistic paintings. They validate the passion for the vast beauty and sanctity of nature that Emerson expresses in this poem that celebrates his transcendental philosophy. For him, all of nature was a place of worship. Through realistic paintings of a family camping trip, readers are shown such varied moods as tranquility, surprise, discovery, and awe. The illustrations pull the audience in and give life to the words. Because of this excellent blend of art forms, this picture book should be considered for most poetry collections. It is similar in tone and feeling to Barbara Juster Esbensen's Echoes for the Eye (HarperCollins, 1996) and J. Patrick Lewis's Earth Verses and Water Rhymes (Atheneum, 1991).
