Editorial Reviews
"Kowalski's Earth Day makes devotion as delicious as sun-ripened berries, as awe-inspiring as a summer storm. Readers of all ages will be grateful for this exuberant appreciation of nature's myriad miracles." —Ruth Horowitz, author of Bat Time
"There are few people who walk this Earth with a fully open heart. Gary Kowlaski is, without doubt, one of them: exceptional author, philosopher and human being. What an outpouring of love he offers us in this luminous book; each page shines with his joy and gratitude for the sacredness of all beings. He, and his writing are a gift to us all and I will be giving Earth Day to everyone I know." —Rita M. Reynolds, author of Blessing the Bridge and Ask the Cow: A Gentle Guide to Finding Peace
