This is a children's story about the seasons. Autumn refuses to step aside for her sister, Winter, when it's her turn. Winter gets increasingly worried as time goes on without her getting the chance to do her work. Spring and Summer also appeal to Autumn, as does Mother Nature, but Autumn refuses to listen. Eventually, Father Time talks some sense into her, and she steps aside for winter and the other seasons. The story starts with an overlong autumn. The people are happy, initially, thinking they'll have a shorter winter. However, the people's praise for this lovely season goes to Autumn's head, and she refuses to step aside for winter, with disastrous consequences. Children will enjoy reading about the different personalities of the seasons and will also be gaining an insight into how nature works. Just as the people in the story, the reader may come to appreciate all the seasons and the important role they play.
