Summary: Inspired by Old Testament Scripture and the beautiful folk art of the Otomi people of Puebla, Mexico, this book is a wonderful introduction to your little ones on praising God and the beauty of Creation.
Personal Reaction: Illustrations are primitive and very pretty and have muted colors.
Classroom extension: I am not sure I would use it in the classroom except as on example of folk art or to show a different style of illustration/use of color.

This story lists many of God's creations and how we should all be thankful and offer blessings and praise. "Let everything in heaven and on Earth bless and praise God." Such deep meaning and understanding is expressed in very few words and illustrations. Everything gained in life is a gift from God
