About This Book

Bless this board and bless this bread.
Bless this skylight overhead
through which any eye may see
wheeling gull and blowing tree.

One morning in Maine, three visitors travel to a small island.
The day is clear and bright – its beauty a blessing. There are
other blessings, too: a bright red fishing boat, berries and
mussels to discover, the surprise of a wild bicycle ride. Best
all is the joy of family coming together to share a special meal.
Bold, color-saturated art perfectly captures the light and spirit
of the Maine coast and brings to life this gentle prayer-like
poem celebrating the simple pleasures of a summer day.
