Customer Reviews

A truly gorgeous book!

I got this book more for me than my 3 year-old son, but he really likes it, too! I fell in love with the moving poetry and incredible illustrations, and he likes to pick out all the different plants and animals he recognizes in the pictures. It has really helped him learn his seasons, and he asks for it again and again.

Be Blest:: A Celebration of Seasons

Short poems (some call them prayers because they were inspired by St. Francis of Assisi's Canticle of Brother Sun and Gaelic Scholar Alexander Carmichael, a collector of Celtic prayers and blessings) and beautiful paintings of the seasons for each month make this a wonderful (peaceful, restful, and inspirational) resource for studying poetry and seasons.

New classic

I'm a bookseller who collects quality children's books; Be Blest is one of the best I've seen in a long while. The marriage of exquisite illustrations and lyrical text should make this book a classic. Highly recommended as a gift for child or adult.
