What began as a spiritual has developed into one of America's best-known songs, sung at churches, schools, and campgrounds the country over. And now for the first time, it appears as a picture book, masterfully created by award-winning artist Kadir Nelson.

Through sublime landscapes and warm images of a boy and his family, Nelson has created a dazzling, intimate interpretation of the song, one that rejoices in the connectedness of people and nature. His stirring artwork brings new vitality to the beloved lyrics and their message of faith, celebration, and hope.
