This is a wonderful book with a theme I have been hunting for formonths. We need more books about giving thanks because many people on this planet are not as fortunate as we and have little to give thanks about!
The illustrations are gorgeous! They are made from cut paper, and are beautiful! There are some small, colored illustrations, too. Those are pretty, though they are less seen. I like the variety of poems and prayers and praises in the book, and that they are divided up into sections about different things. I like how there are quotes, poems, songs, prayers scattered in the book. They are from all different cultures and times. There is really something for everyone in this book!About the author and illustrator:Katherine Paterson is a two-time Newbery Medal winner and a two-time National Book Award winner.Pamela Dalton is a master of scherenschnitte. No I didn’t sneeze. Scherenschnitte is the art of paper-cutting. I think you will agree about Ms. Dalton’s master status when you look at the illustrations in the book.*NOTE I got a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Any book by Katherine Patterson sends a "must read" through my heart. And, I am not disappointed by this compilation of poetry, song and prayers of thanksgiving and gratitude to God for love, life and peace. As a reader of literature I am reminded throughout this small book of themes of gratitude from writers of all faiths and ethnicities. The art which supports the texts is intriguing. It supports and amplifies the message.
This collection of thankful thoughts has something for everyone. From familiar prayers to ancient blessings, Katherine Paterson has collected expressions of gratitude that put heart-stirring feelings into words. Her personal reveries throughout the book inspire reflection about the feelings that are expressed. Pamela Dalton's cut-paper artwork adds a layer of elegance and serenity, making the book a very special treasure.Uplifting and down-to-earth at the same time, it's a perfect resource for daily meditation, especially during stressful times. It will also be terrific for holiday gift giving.(InannaWorks.com received a free review copy of this book.)
They were received with ravs. The illustrations are amazing. The poems, prayers,and praise songs were delightful. A great hostess gift for Thanksgiving guests to bring and leave with their thanks!
This is a beautiful book in every way. Both illustrations and verses are stunning. Including verses from many cultures and religions reminds us that thankfulness is universal.
I bought this for the illustrations which are exquisite comples paper cuttings by Pamela Dalton. They are quite amazing. The text is ok if rather mundane.
Great gift for the holidays and every day. I will be waiting for the next book-print edition to share. Thanks to all involved in this enchanting book .
