At the very beginning of the world the earth was a dry and dusty place, where nothing could live and nothing could grow.
So God made a mist which watered the ground all over.
Then with his great hands, he formed the first man out of the clay of the newly watered earth.

Jane Ray's beautiful version of the familiar story takes into account creation myths the world over. The story of Adam and Eve is powerful because it is the story of all children growing up and going out into the world. It also reminds readers of all ages of the need to live in harmony with the earth.
