About This Book
Reach for this book when you want to slow down and cultivate a sense of awe and thankfulness during a quiet bedtime or a peaceful morning. It is a gentle tool for grounding children who may feel overwhelmed by the busyness of life, offering them a rhythmic way to appreciate the world around them. Based on the Canticle of the Sun, the text provides a lyrical framework for gratitude that feels both spiritual and deeply connected to nature. The book uses rhyming poetry to celebrate the elements, animals, and the cycles of the day and night. While rooted in a prayer by Saint Francis of Assisi, the language remains accessible and focus remains on the beauty of creation. It is ideal for children aged 3 to 8, helping them develop emotional intelligence through the practice of appreciation and wonder. Parents will appreciate the jewel-toned illustrations and the way the poem fosters a calm, reflective atmosphere.
