Our Seasons (2007)
by Grace Lin and Ranida T. McKneally
In my quest to get everything Grace Lin, I came across this book. It introduces the seasons by focusing on four children experiencing them. Each page contains a delightful illustration by Ms. Lin, a haiku for younger readers, and then a longer scientific explanation of some natural occurrence of the season. Examples are: “Why do my cheeks turn red in the cold?” “Why do I tan?” “Why do the leaves change color?” What a clever book! I love that it not only holds the interest of our 3-year old, but also offers me new information. It’s a book that will grow with your child and can give you plenty of jumping off points for more learning and exploring. Brilliant!
