Signed edition

Taken from the wonderful spiritual song learned by so many of us when we were young, Nelson accompanies the words with beautiful images. This illustrator never disappoints. His talent is incredible and manifested in this book in a supreme way. Highlighting the diversity of our world, Nelson reinforces the multicultural universe we should embrace.

Coming away after reading I remembered learning this song when I was attending Sunday School, most likely aged six or seven. It was such a treat to have the spiritual come alive and the images felt like they jumped right off the page and into a beautiful field of wonderful diversity.

Highly recommended. ( )

One of America's best-known songs - a spiritual. Wonderful picture book illustrating diversity.

Coming together

The text is what began as a spiritual has developed into one of America’s best-known songs. The illustrations reflect diversity and a child's perspective of the world. This is a great book to read during early childhood worship.
