摘要
摘要
In 1225, Saint Francis of Assisi wrote the Canticle of the Sun, a moving hymn of praise for all creation that has been adapted to poetry and song for centuries. Reeve Lindbergh evokes its gentle power once again with The Circle of Days, quietly blending her words with those of Saint Francis to honor the elements, the animals, the heavens, and the very breath of life. With marvelous, jewel-toned paintings by Cathie Felstead echoing the childlike reverence of the poem, The Circle of Days reminds children and adults alike to pause, to wonder at, and to give thanks for the beauty of our world.

PreS-Gr 3The Canticle of the Sun, a prayer composed by Francis of Assisi, has been translated and adapted many times since 1225. Lindbergh's version uses a conventional metrical form, but the short tetrameter line sometimes dictates odd phrasing, and too often the accents shift as lines randomly alternate between trochaic and iambic: "Praise for radiant brother sun/Who makes the hours around us run." These verses have a poverty not attributable to the saint of the poor. The pictures, on the other hand, are rich in color, simple in form, yet full of interest. Collage accents add dimension to the flat planes painted in clear primary colors. Compositions are formal, but varied page layout and viewpoints add to the liveliness of the pages. This is a book for the eye, if not the ear.Patricia Lothrop-Green, St. George's School, Newport, RI (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

Lindbergh uses material from St. Francis of Assisi's Canticle of the Sun to write a prayer in praise of the natural world. The poem is accessible--Praise for brothers wind and air, / Serene or cloudy, foul or fair--and quite lyrical. Felstead uses collage and paint to create a benevolent and varied world to complement the poem. The book emphasizes St. Francis's wonder at the universe and is more ecumenical than the original prayer. From HORN BOOK Fall 1998, (c) Copyright 2010.

Ages 4-9. Almost 800 years after it was first written by St. Francis of Assisi, Canticle of the Sun remains breathtakingly lovely, especially in this translation and adaptation, which fits in with the multitude of environmental books but stands far above them aesthetically. Lindbergh's text, which praises all creation, flows gracefully, and though she enumerates a few things more specifically than St. Francis ("For desert, orchard, rock, and tree, / For forest, meadow, mountain, sea"), she stays faithful to the words, tone, and spirit of the original. She doesn't shy away from including "sister death" ("For brother sleep, and sister death, / Who tend the borders of our breath"), and, as in the rest of the book, the illustrations, which are large enough to be enjoyed by a group, convey the meaning of the words without distracting from their quiet eloquence. The main illustration for "brother sleep and sister death" shows a child solemnly regarding a dead beetle. Underneath is a panel of small pictures depicting the growth cycle of a tree, from an acorn to a tree with bare branches. Felstead's use of both paint and sharply cut paper gives the pictures a 3-D appearance, complete with subtle shading, texture, and a wealth of fascinating detail. An excellent purchase for most religion shelves. (Reviewed April 1, 1998)0763603570Susan Dove Lempke
