Description
A beautifully illustrated collection of poems and prayers to help children develop an appreciation for the natural world
Bless the Earth, our faithful friend,
her mountain range and river bend,
her forest green and canopy,
the hidden world of bended trees.
Bless the Earth shows the miracle of our planet Earth through beautiful imagery and delightful poetry, calling all people, young and old, to care for our wonderful world. This sweet and welcoming anthology for children ages 3-7 knits together our common humanity and the natural world in an engaging way that is simple for young readers to understand.
Bless the Earth contains approximately sixty selections of original as well as classic poems, divided into five chapters each:
- Dreams for My World
- Earth and Sky
- All Creatures, Big and Small
- Seasons
- Caring for Our World
Bless the Earth calls us again and again to understand how important it is to care for our world, respect our neighbors—humans, plants, and animals alike—and reimagine a world that is healthy and whole.
