Publisher Description
A celebration of the wonder and colors of every child's favorite season--summer!
In this celebration of the outdoors, two rambunctious children take off on an adventure from their own backyard. In each new scene they discover the wondrous details--and beautiful colors--of nature. Even when a little summer rain threatens to dampen their grand adventure, the fun continues as woodland scenes come to life in a whole new way.
Diana Murray's spirited verse paired with Zoe Persico's charming illustrations hits a wonderful balance of sophisticated and sweet, with details that young children will immediately relate to and layered verse that will enchant readers of all ages.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Murray offers a gentle tribute to the colors of summer, centering on two siblings who live in a verdant countryside rendered in vivid digital art. Murray writes in descriptive couplets: "The sparrows keep chirping a song, soft and mellow,/ and sunflowers reach up with petals so yellow." As the children run past their yard, storm clouds gather; Persico's sunny spreads are overtaken by moody grays, then "Rain batters down on the blustery scene,/ as cardinals fly into treetops so green." The children pass a pond covered in pink water lilies, a white waterfall, and picnickers dashing for cover with purple blankets. Back at home and cozy, the siblings (with their cousin who, curiously, stayed behind) watch lightning strike before the sun returns. Murray (City Shapes) presents a lively color primer while conveying the building excitement of a summer storm. Ages 4 8.
