Saint Francis's hymn in praise of all creation is one of the great songs of Christianity. Using a modern, sparkling verse translation, Fiona French brings the words into glowing perspective: twelve radiant tableaux inspired by Byzantine mosaics light up verses in praise of Brother Sun, Sister Moon, Brother Wind, Sister Water and the whole universal family created by God, in a gift book for readers young and old.

Inspired by the work of Byzantine artists the twelve striking mosaics are a colourful representation and the perfect accompaniment to illustrate the hymn. - 5-7 Educator
