LET THE WHOLE EARTH SING PRAISE Reviewed

Here are excerpts of the PUBLISHERS WEEKLY review of LET THE WHOLE EARTH SING PRAISE.

"In this small-format book, dePaola masterfully pairs simple words and resonant images... DePaola's narrative bids specific creatures and forces of nature to give praise, before issuing a cumulative call-out: 'Let everything in heaven and on earth bless and praise God.' The very largeness of the loose, hand-lettered text, which appears in all caps, amplifies the message, while the joy that emanates from the cheerful spreads confirms its value."
