The illustrations of Stacey McCleary's picture book really drew me in.
Summary: The perfect gift of all the world itself in its natural beauty through every season. The early morning light in spring shines on a new day; summer rain brings rainbows; falling leaves in autumn signals the arrival of cold weather; and a deer cautiously stepping into a newly fallen snow highlights the beauty of winter. A celebration of our world and its many precious gifts.
Age Range: 5-6 years"My gift is each and everything: each autumn day, and each new spring, the winter's chill, the summer's laughter, every season ever after...The wonder, the beauty, the magic unfurled...all this is for you...I give you the world."
I enjoyed the pictures by Carmen Saldana and absolutely loved this message. We are gifting our children the world. It teaches how special everyday moments are and how important the nature of the world is to us all.
Through poetic notation, it urges us to care for our world and cherish the moments we have with its nature. I also find it endearing how a parent could read this picture book to their child and show them that they loved them so much they gave them the world. This could also have a spiritual tone to it if interpreted that way.
This is a darling picture book!
