This is a book designed to give the small child a sense of security in his spiritual heritage—a security too often lacking in this hurried modern world. In it, some of the most beautiful words in our language have been translated into picture terms a small child can understand. Here are Green Pastures young feet have known, and the Wings of the Morning are bright upon a familiar seashore. These are the children of the house next door, the members of "the gang", with their marbles and toys and pets, instantly recognizable to the young reader. Selection and illustration alike have been made with a deep perception of the inner world of childhood and its needs.
