A Child's Book of Animal Poems and Blessings
By Eliza Blanchard, Joyce Hesselberth
From Skinner House Books
These poems, prayers and blessings about our animal brethren are drawn from around the world and throughout history.
Dear God, hear and bless
Your beasts and singing birds;
And guard with tenderness
Small things that have no words
