On Morning Wings
A favorite psalm becomes wonderfully accessible to children in this comforting new book from a Caldecott Honor artist and the editor of IN EVERY TINY GRAIN OF SAND.
When I am lonely you are near,
When I am angry, you stay here.
High in heaven bright, you greet me,
Down in darkness, too, you meet me.
The bright morning light greets four children as they step into a day of joyful climbing a tree, swimming through clear water, toasting marshmallows at twilight. And when they feel lost or lonely, friends are never very far away.
In this gentle adaptation of Psalm 139, Reeve Lindbergh and Holly Meade create a prayer of abiding love and hope - and a sun-dappled world where comfort is around every corner, and no one is truly alone.

My husband and I are kind of into reading about the Lindbergh Kidnapping lately, and when I discovered that Reeve Lindbergh is a daughter of Charles and Anne Morris, and that she has written children’s books, I made it a point to get as many as I could. As a retired children’s librarian, I’d apparently read several of her books before without making the Lindbergh connection. Many of them are now out of print, but I got as many as I could via my public library and Amazon marketplace.
This particular one was nice, but not a standout. The poem was good, but the illustrations were just okay. I probably wouldn’t have used this with kids.

As four kids get ready to start their day in the mornings, they whisper a Psalm. They know God is always with them when they are having fun playing or lonely and sad. Wherever they are and whatever they feel, they know God is always with them.
I loved this book. It was so inspiring and the illustrations are so cute.
This book can be used to let kids know that God is always with us and by our side. He will never forsake us, no matter the circumstance.
