Today is the world's birthday...the day that God asks each creature, in turn, whether he or she has been the best s/he can be. "This year, little giraffe ... did you eat the highest leaves on the tree, Happy that I'd chosen you to make a path for the sun?...This year, little child ... did you put seeds in the soil, Happy that I'd chosen you to plant a garden?..." Charming illustrations accompany this joyful celebration of life and goodness, with appreciation for the contribution that each and every one of us can make.
