Praise for Earth Day

"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, Bat Time

"When Rev. Gary Kowalski addresses children - as in Earth Day - the tone will tickle you, the images will dazzle you, and the content overawe your heart." - William Cleary, author My UU ABCs.

"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
