The Beautiful World That God Made

Illustrated by Anne Wilson

This is the beautiful world that God made.

This is the light, brilliant and bright,
that formed the first day from a dark, endless night
and started the beautiful world that God made.


“Radiant, childlike collages fairly exude joy in this eye-catching version of the Creation story…stable rhythm and judicious use of repetition create a stately structure…Beautiful indeed.”
*Starred review* Publishers Weekly

“…powerful incantatory verse.”

“…skillfully rhymed poetry filled with lovely images…a fresh, creative treatment of creation.”

“Brilliantly conceived and executed…a joyous treatment of creation.”
