The Lord's Prayer, The

The short text of the Lord's Prayer (which begins, "Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name. . . . ") is beautifully illuminated here by Heidi Holder in the manner of a medieval manuscript. The artwork accompanying each phrase is lushly detailed, with meticulous renderings of animals, birds, and insects; traditional religious symbols; and picturesque scenes of gardens, wildlands, and distant castles. Children will delight in discovering the various interactions between the creatures and the miniature drawings that surround each page.
