The award-winning, bestselling
husband-and-wife team of Kevin Henkes and Laura Dronzek collaborate for
the first time since their acclaimed picture book
Birds. 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!
Kevin
Henkes uses striking imagery, repetition, and alliteration to introduce
basic concepts of language and the changing of the seasons. And Laura
Dronzek’s gorgeous, lush paintings show the transformation from quiet,
cold winter to the joyful newborn spring.
Watch the world transform when
spring comes!
