In the last chilly, cooped-up days of winter, a young boy longs for summer. His mother points to each small, encouraging sign of the changing seasons—tender green buds on trees, ducklings in the pond, swallows on the warm spring winds. Together, mother and son find the unique beauty and pleasure offered by each passing day until summer comes, bringing warm sun, bright flowers, and fat, juicy berries.

A celebration of nature and change, this beautiful book encourages children to look closely at the world around them, and features Nikki McClure's extraordinary cut-paper art and lyrical text.
