You have probably hear this poem more than once. It’s pretty common. This illustrator uses cut paper to make the graphics to her version of this poem. And they are fantastic. Very intricate and interesting. Plus the color. It’s amazing what someone can do with construction paper.

Review for Katy Hudon edition
My library was finally able to get the actual book that we were requesting. This book has been done many times before, but I wanted to compare various artwork. This is the newest rendition for sale, and It has beautiful illustrations. It feels very now, where other copies have felt dated, or timeless.

Using his mother’s sewing and embroidery scissors and construction paper Bryan has created a brilliantly illustrated rendering of Alexander’s hymn in praise of God’s creation.
