We recently had the opportunity to preview the book, All Things Bright & Beautiful. This is a beautifully illustrated book by Katy Hudson. While recommended for ages 4-7, this book can be enjoyed by all.
Synopsis:
First published by Cecil Frances Alexander in 1848, this favorite hymn has become a mainstay of churches and Sunday school classes everywhere. Here artist Katy Hudson brings new joy to the words with her fresh and bright watercolor style. Readers can join in the fun as they follow two little girls and their brother on a day filled with the discovery of “all things bright and beautiful.”
“All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.”
About the artist:
Katy Hudson was raised in Middlesbrough, England, and started her career as a small child drawing on freshly painted walls. Her parents quickly encouraged drawing with pencil and paper instead. The idea stuck, and after earning a degree in illustration, Katy is now a freelance illustrator. Katy works at a desk in a studio within Old London Library and likes to tap dance in her spare time.
Our thoughts:
All Things Bright & Beautiful makes a wonderful bedtime stories for children. Throughout this 32 page book, you’ll find very vibrant and beautiful illustrations. The hymn, written by Cecil Frances Alexander is one of my favorites and loved that they did include the history of it to the back of the book. Both of my boys (ages 5 & 9) enjoyed reading this.
All Things Bright & Beautiful is currently available with a SRP of $15.99.
