Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I posted about this book in Living Literature, but am posting here as well for nature enthusiasts to discover.

At the library today I just picked up the copy of The Cuckoo's Haiku I had requested. It's newly published and it is an absolutely gorgeous book - like a nature journal of bird sketches with accompanying poetry. It would be a lovely addition to any bird studies. It is divided in to seasons of the year and has at least 5 birds featured for each season. Each two-page spread has the haiku on one side and handwritten facts/observations about that bird on the other - all intertwined with the most beautiful watercolor sketches.

Poetry and nature study all in one.

That book looks beautiful, Mary! Right up my alley as I want to focus more on our nature journals this summer...
