Overview
⭐ "Splendid."—Publishers Weekly (STARRED REVIEW)
⭐ "A remarkable collaboration." —Kirkus Reviews (STARRED REVIEW)
⭐ "Charming." —Booklist (STARRED REVIEW)
Poetry and the beauty of nature combine for this breathtaking celebration of the year.
In this stunning combination of wordcraft and woodcuts, readers meet the changing seasons with thirteen poems, all in different poetic structures, from award-winning Dutch author Bette Westera. Each season opens with a haiku, following with the season’s months and their poems. Readers will dance into March with a rondel for a newborn lamb, wave in the August wind with a five-line tanka for a summer sunflower, snuggle in for December with a limerick for all those who stayed home instead of going south...
Exquisite woodcut art from Henriette Boerendans, an artist making her US and UK debut, showcases the wonder of the natural world. Back matter offers further details about the poems’ structures—offering the perfect opportunity for young writers to write their own sonnet for February or quatrain for September. Translated from the Dutch by David Colmer.
