About This Item
Synopsis
Karen Pandell is the award-winning author of a number of books for young children, including I LOVE YOU BABY, FROM HEAD TO TOE! and WHERE'S STRETCH? A Lift-the-Flap Book. SAINT FRANCIS SINGS TO BROTHER SUN is her first book for older readers. Of it she says, "The first time I heard 'The Canticle of Brother Sun,' I was spellbound by its powerful simplicity. Written more than eight centuries ago, the words of the Canticle remain as fresh and vibrant as nature itself. Through the Canticle, Saint Francis sings to each one of us today, child and grownup alike." Bijou Le Tord has written and illustrated many children's books, including A BLUE BUTTERFLY: A STORY ABOUT CLAUDE MONET. About this book, she says, "A funny thing happened to me while illustrating the extraordinary stories of Saint Francis. I moved to France, where wild animals live so near, where one can see in all seasons, in all kinds of weather, a fox, a hare, a hawk, sometimes a boar, tilling the soil with its hard snout, or a small whistling eagle called a milan and the little, colorful singing birds Saint Francis loved. Almost each one found a place in my paintings." This is her first book with Candlewick Press.
