Watch the world transform when spring comes! In a starred review,
School Library Journal called this delightful picture book "A
must-have, joyful seasonal title for the youngest listeners." In
this beautiful board book for young children, Caldecott Medalist
and Newbery Honor author Kevin Henkes uses striking imagery,
repetition, and alliteration to introduce basic concepts of
language and the changing of the seasons. And acclaimed artist
Laura Dronzek's gorgeous, lush paintings show the transformation
from quiet, cold winter to the newborn spring. Before spring comes,
the trees are dark sticks, the grass is brown, and the ground is
covered in snow. But if you wait, leaves unfurl and flowers
blossom, the grass turns green, and the mounds of snow shrink and
shrink. Spring brings baby birds, sprouting seeds, rain and mud,
and puddles. You can feel it and smell it and hear it-and you can
read it! In a starred review, The Horn Book said, "This joyful
reflection is as welcome as spotting the first brave crocus." In
the Middle of Fall, Winter Is Here, When Spring Comes, and Summer
Song make for a beautiful quartet of seasonal-theme picture books
to share at home or in the classroom. Ideal for introducing the
season, for story time, and for bedtime reading.
