As days stretch longer, animals creep out from their warm dens, and green begins to grow again, everyone knows—spring is on its way! Join a boy and his dog as they explore nature and take a stroll through the countryside, greeting all the signs of the coming season. In a series of conversations with everything from the melting brook to chirping birds, they say goodbye to winter and welcome the lushness of spring.
"Sincere and serene, with masterful, atmospheric illustrations." –Kirkus Reviews The perfect seasonal book for young children to say good-bye to winter and welcome in spring! When spring comes, it melts the snow. Where will all the water go? The first harbingers of spring can be seen in the forest—as the wet snow begins to melt. The little squirrels Mick, Mack, and Molly can’t believe that snow can turn into water. That is, until they discover a floating tree and use it as a raft. This gentle adventure, told in rhyme, is a wonderful celebration of nature and friendship.
From the Man Booker Prize finalist: Seasonal Quartet is a series of four stand-alone novels, separate but interconnected (as the seasons are), wide-ranging in timescale and light-footed through histories, which, when taken together, give us something more—all four united by the passing of time, the timing of narrative, and the endless familiarity yet renewal that the cycle of the seasons is. Grounded in current politics, in the work of artists Pauline Boty, Barbara Hepworth, Katherine Mansfield, and Loretta Mazzetti, and in Shakespeare's four final romances The Tempest, Cymbeline, Pericles, and A Winter's Tale, the Seasonal Quartet is "one of modern fiction's most elusive and most important undertakings" (Charles Finch, The Boston Globe).
Winter Bees & Other Poems of the Cold summons forth the charms and dictates of winter.

Why don't snakes freeze to death? How does the tiny honeybee survive frost? Learn about the secret lives of animals happening under the snow and how it buds to spring!
