Recent praise:
"Recognizing that the hunger for the spiritual exists everywhere, Dearborn has compiled a series of short blessings from many cultures.... The text is set in richly decorated frames with image heaped upon image in jewel-like, iconic panels that include flora, fauna, dwellings and people of many ages and places in a profusion of color and line. Reminiscent, in both tone and image of Caitlin Matthews’ The Blessing Seed (1998), the book has a gentle, inclusive voice." — Booklist “Dearborn’s editorial choices imply a unity of spirit among a diversity of belief systems, so that her book fosters both a reverence for life’s gifts and tolerance for other ways of receiving them.... The art invites scrutiny, luring readers back again and again to the rewards of the text.” — Publishers Weekly “This book promises to earn a special place in the libraries of families seeking imaginative, nondenominational ways to bring the sacred into everyday life.” — NAPRA ReVIEW With blessings for everyday events from dawn until dusk, for special activities, and for specific times of the year, this exquisite collection offers children and their parents a simple and practical way of bringing a sense of the sacred into their lives. Olwyn Whelan’s beautiful and intricate illustrations enrich Sabrina Dearborn’s thoughtful and touching selection, making this a book that will become a keepsake for generations.
