About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts asking why the days are getting longer or why they suddenly need a raincoat instead of a heavy parka. It is a gentle, instructional tool designed to help early learners transition through the changing seasons with confidence and curiosity. The book focuses on the sensory experiences of springtime: the return of birds, the blooming of flowers, and the specific clothing we wear to stay dry. Parker captures the quiet wonder of the natural world, making it an ideal choice for children aged 4 to 7 who are beginning to categorize their environment. It serves as both a vocabulary builder and a reassuring guide to the rhythms of the earth. By highlighting familiar human activities like gardening and outdoor play, the book helps children find their own place within the cycle of the year, fostering a sense of joy and gratitude for the outdoors.

A preschooler or kindergartner who is an 'observer' by nature: the type of child who stops to point out a puddle, a worm, or a new leaf and wants a name for what they are seeing.
