The River and the Rain

Toucans with many-colored bills, tapirs with long snouts, and tiny leaf-cutter ants are all part of God's magnificent kingdom on earth. Yet humans are not always mindful of these wondrous miracles. In this vivid rendition of the Lord's Prayer, Bijou Le Tord examines the relationship between nature and humanity. In poignant yet simple words and exquisite watercolor paintings, she celebrates God's kingdom, His forgiveness, and the harmony of the natural world. Bijou Le Tord was born in Saint-Raphael on the French Riviera. She now lives in Sag Harbor, New York. Her highly acclaimed books include Peace on Earth: A Book of Prayers from Around the World; The Little Shepherd, a lovely rendition of the 23rd Psalm; The Little Hills of Nazareth; and A Blue Butterfly: A Story About Claude Monet.Bijou Le Tord is the author of 'The River and the Rain', published 1994 under ISBN 9780385320344 and ISBN 0385320345.
