Seasons: A Book of Poems
Arranged chronologically under the headings "Winter Bits," "Spring Things," "Summer Thoughts," and "The Feel of Fall," this collection of poetry for newly independent readers focuses on the highlights of a child's year. Celebrations and holidays, the natural world, emotions, and family relationships are all encompassed in this volume offering 40 short poems. Illustrations on every page provide a visual entry to the word pictures created by the text: "Light drains slowly from the sky / I almost see / things fade away / and then it's dark / the end of day."
