Brother Sun, Sister Moon

Katherine Paterson

Two-time Newbery Award winner and National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature Katherine Paterson reimagines Francis of Assisi’s 1224 hymn of praise in celebration of all living things in an edition illuminated with the illustrations of a prodigiously gifted cut-paper artist new to picture books.

Review

Award-winning author Katherine Paterson, of Bridge to Terabitha fame, reimagines the beautiful ‘Canticle of the Sun,’ the poem originally written by St Francis of Assisi in 1224.

The stunning paper cut-out artwork by Pamela Dalton perfectly matches the tone of the poem, a balance of almost stark simplicity with a richly coloured celebration of the diversity of the natural world. A really special book that will appeal to all ages.
