Publisher's Notes
In 1225, Saint Francis of Assisi wrote the "Canticle of the Sun". An incantatory hymn of praise for all creation, it has been adapted in poetry and song for centuries. Now poet Reeve Lindbergh evokes its gentle power once again with "The Circle of Days". Quiet and centering, her words blend with those of Saint Francis to honor the elements, the animals, the heavens, and the very breath of life. With the childlike reverence of the poem echoed by Cathie Felstead's marvelous, jewel-toned paintings, "The Circle of Days" reminds children and adults alike to pause, to wonder at, and to give thanks for, the beauty of our world.
