"A vibrant and sophisticated ode to nature."--Kirkus Reviews
(starred review)
"A wonderful read-aloud."--School Library Journal (starred review)
From Caldecott Medal and Newbery Honor winner Kevin Henkes and
acclaimed painter Laura Dronzek, the bestselling and award-winning
creators of Winter Is Here, When Spring Comes, and In the Middle of
Fall, this book about summer celebrates the sights, sounds, and smells
of the season.
Bees buzz, birds sing, and children roll in the grass and feel the heat
of the summer sun. With striking verbal imagery, repetition, and
alliteration, Kevin Henkes introduces basic concepts of language and the
summer season. Laura Dronzek's glowing paintings beautifully illustrate
the wonders of summer.
In the Middle of Fall, Winter Is Here, When Spring Comes, and Summer
Song make for a beautiful quartet of seasonal-themed picture books to
share at home or in the classroom. Ideal for introducing the season, for
story time, and for bedtime reading.
