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'm always looking for beautiful Chinese picture books and was amazed to come across this find in the library. Maples in the Mist contains simple poetry that I remembered learning while I was a young child. Although some of its beauty is lost during the translation, it is still a wonderful introduction to Chinese poetry from China's Golden Age. The original Chinese poems written in the side-bar and the book is available in simplified and complex characters. I'm definitely adding it to my home library.
