Seasons: A Book of Poems
CCBC Review:
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."
