An award winning children's author adapts the Canticle of the Creatures "in crystalline language. Grace and joy for all ages and almost any faith" ( Kirkus Reviews, starred review). In Brother Sun, Sister Moon, Newbery Medal and National Book Award–winning author Katherine Paterson re-imagines a hymn of praise originally written by Saint Francis of Assisi in 1224. Illuminated with the exquisite illustrations of cut-paper artist Pamela Dalton, this picture book offers a stunningly beautiful tribute to nature. "The combination of her polished poetic text and Ms. Dalton's glorious illustrations reach a sublime height." — New York Journal of Books "Gorgeous." — School Library Journal (starred review) "An inspiring modern classic." — Booklist (starred review)
