Description: A Little Prayer with pictures by Barbara Cooney. Cooney was a two-time winner of the Caldecott Medal. From the dustjacket flap: "'Little Jesus of the crib:Give us the goodness of bread,The salt of the haddock,The tenderness of the wild boar,The ardor of the candle,The purity of the star....' These are lines from this lovely old French prayer which originated long ago in Provence. Barbara Cooney's illustrations capture, deepen and broaden its beautiful simplicity, its charming references to man's humble occupations, his joy in nature, and his fundamental faith in life and its goodness." Published by Hastings House, Publishers. Copyright 1967. 5" x 5.5" Gift inscription from the author on blank page opposite the title page: "Merry Christmas, 1957[?], to the Morses from the Porters." I happened to come across a photo of another copy sold on ebay years ago that was signed by the author. The writing is the same and after a bit of research I learned that Cooney's second husband was Charles Talbot Porter. Book will be carefully packaged and shipped in a cardboard wrapper or box.
