From Caldecott Medalist and New York Times-bestselling author Kevin Henkes and the acclaimed painter Laura Dronzek, the bestselling and award-winning creators of Winter Is Here and In the Middle of Fall, this beautiful paperback edition of When Spring Comes is perfect for the very youngest readers.
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.”
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 this beautiful paperback edition, 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. In a starred review, The Horn Book said, “This joyful reflection is as welcome as spotting the first brave crocus.”

From New York Times-bestselling author Deborah Diesen and
illustrator Lucy Fleming, Hello, Fall! is a touching story of the
autumn season. Fall is here! Colorful leaves whisper to each other.
Geese honk as they flock across the sky. Pumpkins listen patiently
from their patch. The season announces itself in all sorts of
ways--if you stop to say hello! A grandfather and his granddaughter
welcome fall in this sweet, whimsical story about finding beauty
and wonder in every moment.
Following a snow-filled winter, a young boy and his dog decide that
they've had enough of all that brown and resolve to plant a garden.
They dig, they plant, they play, they wait . . . and wait . . .
until at last, the brown becomes a more hopeful shade of brown, a
sign that spring may finally be on its way. Julie Fogliano's tender
story of anticipation is brought to life by the distinctive
illustrations Erin E. Stead, recipient of the 2011 Caldecott Medal.

Blustery wind burns and shrieks Nibbles on my nose and cheeks For
preschoolers, windy fall days mean excitement and play. Strong
winds stimulate children and their surroundings, as though an
invisible hand is shaking the world. Gentler breezes help plants
scatter their seeds, set pinwheels in motion, and keep kite strings
taut. But fiercer winds begin to sting the cheeks as they bring
about a new season... In Windy Days, author Deborah Kerbel once
again captures the magic of early childhood awe and wonder with
rhyming couplets as light as a breath of fresh air. Illustrator
Miki Sato's unique tactile collage art pops off the page through
its detailed use of hand-stitching and textural materials.
It’s almost Halloween, and little Sylvie Ann has found the biggest, fattest pumpkin. But before she can carve it into a giant, crooked-toothed pumpkin moonshine (or jack-o’lantern), she has to get it home!
