Publishers Weekly
"Pat Mora praises in poetry Saint Francis' calming way of communing
with creatures great and small in this celebratory picture book,
made all the more joyous by Frampton's handsome colored woodcuts."
New Mexico Magazine
"David Frampton's colorful woodcuts are both bold and detailed. . .
. The Francis here has universal appeal as he bonds with the myriad
wonders of nature." Kirkus Reviews
"Strikingly beautiful woodcuts and an oversized format create a
first-rate visual accompaniment to this imaginative story about St.
Francis of Assisi. The lyrical text focuses on St. Francis's
affinity with animals and describes him simply as a man who
preached and sang with 'people and dogs and flowers and fish and
frogs.' . . . This treatment serves well as an introduction to the
saint who lived in an down-to-earth fashion."
