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.

At the used book sale I attended yesterday I found this gorgeous picture book on builders in nature. Many birds are featured, but this also includes fish, insects, and mammals.

And So They Build Written & illustrated by Bert Kitchen
ISBN 1-56402-217-X
copyright 1993 by Bert Kitchen
Candlewick Press
Published in Great Britain in 1993 by Walder Books, Ltd.

To get a glimpse of the pictures, I found this animal pictures archive which has many (or all?) of the illustrations. Just Gorgeous!

I was intrigued by this illustrator, Bert Kitchen. His forte is definitely nature. I couldn't find any mention of his books except MaryM recommended Barn Own.

He illustrates many of the Kingfisher series

and Animal Alphabet I definitely need to track down to see.
