Description
People of all ages know the sweet melody and tender lyrics of this popular song, originally written by Eleanor Farjeon in 1931 and made famous by Cat Stevens in 1971. But too few know that this song was originally a Scottish hymn, inspired by Psalm 118:24: This is the day that the Lord hath made; we shall rejoice and be glad in it."
In this striking picture book, artist Tim Ladwig interprets hymnwriter Farjeon’s words in a thoroughly contemporary way, depicting a boy and his grandfather coming together to enjoy the day. The art is full of rich color, warm tones, and interesting details. Farjeons’ words and Ladwig’s illustrations celebrate the beauty of creation.
