Saint Francis of Assisi's Canticle of the Creatures
Katherine Paterson
Illustrated by Pamela Dalton

WATCH VIDEO of the Illustrator demonstrating her paper-cutting technique.

When a book this special comes along, I want to sing forth its praises to everyone, just as St. Francis did in his Canticles to the Sun. Praise be to Pamela Dalton, whose Scherenschnitte ''scissor cut'' illustrations are a blessing of beauty to behold. (This book is one of the New York Times top ten Best Illustrated Children's Books of 2011!)

Praise be to Newbery award-winner Katherine Paterson, whose potent, prayerful words help us experience St. Francis' Canticle in new and nourishing ways. Praise be to the delightful combination of words and pictures so skillfully wrought that children and adults alike will turn and re-turn the pages, discovering new details and dimensions each time.

Children will love poring over the delicate, intricate paper cuttings while listening to inspired words of wonder and appreciation for all of life's creatures—for Brother Sun, Sister Moon, Brother Wind, Sister Rain.

Children inherently know that they are ''kin'' to all living things and readily celebrate the gift of each blade of grass, each sheaf of wheat, each tiny animal, each shining star. This book affirms what our children already understand—that God's creation is worthy of our greatest attention, admiration, and love. Here, in book form, is one of God's masterpieces for each and every one of us to enjoy.
