Prayers from the Ark and The Creatures' Choir por Carmen Bernos De Gasztold

This is one of my favorite books of all time. I re-read it often and love the illustrations and quotes in French. The prayers are told from the perspective of the animals, and they are enchanting.

Prayers from the Ark por Carmen Bernos De Gasztold

These prayers, created by Carmen Bernos De Gasztold, were first published, in French, in 1947 by a private press. Rumer Godden discovered a volume of them and translated them into English. The poem-prayers are at once reverent, humorous, realistic and concise. While being presented as children's poems / prayers, they are for all ages. A delightful and inspiring book!
