Let the Whole Earth Sing Praise
What's This Book About
This joyous book sings thanks and praise for everything in land, sea, and sky-from the sun and moon to plants and animals to all people, young and old. Beloved author-illustrator Tomie dePaola captures the beauty of God’s creation in his folk art-style illustrations. With text inspired by Old Testament Scripture and artwork fashioned after the beautiful embroideries and designs of the Otomi people from the mountain villages around San Pablito, in Puebla, Mexico, this is a wonderful celebration for all to share.
Reviews
It's a beautifully written, short tribute, but not very engaging or fun. Feels more like a picture book for an adult looking for a simple and sweet religious message.
