In this uplifting picture book about spring, follow two children and
their father through their backyard as they discover all the different
ways nature wakes up from its long winter sleep.
Spot the busy creatures and plants as the tale unfolds, then learn
about how each responds to the increasing daylight and warmth that usher
in the season.
Co-authors Sean Taylor (picture book author) and Alex Morss (ecologist,
journalist, and educator) offer an inviting introduction to the
science behind spring. The yard is bright, birds are singing, the bees
are buzzing, and there are tadpoles in the pond! What is all the
commotion about?
In each colorful scene, the family discovers a different sign of
spring--a bird collecting twigs for its nest, a fox snuggling her
cubs, a caterpillar feasting on leaves... After the story, annotated
illustrations explain the spring behaviors of various plants and
animals.
Inspire an appreciation for the natural world in this joyous exploration
of spring.
