About This Book

Discover the joys of nature, seasons, familyβ€”and the vibrant colors of them allβ€”in this lyrical picture book from the author of the acclaimed Blue on Blue. A child is on a colorful journey through the seasons, filled with yellow flowers and blue coral in spring and summer and orange pumpkins and green pine forests in fall and winter. All the while, there is another colorful change on the horizonβ€”the birth of a new sibling. With gentle, rhyming text and vivid artwork, this book is a heartfelt cel

Our Review

This gentle seasonal journey follows a child through nature's changing palette, from spring's yellow blossoms to winter's green pine forests, while weaving in the subtle anticipation of a new sibling. The lyrical text pairs beautifully with soft, vibrant illustrations that make color recognition feel like a natural discovery rather than a lesson. Young listeners will be captivated by the rhythmic language and the quiet joy of observing the world transform around them. It's a soothing exploration of how colors shift with the seasons, creating a calm, engaging read-aloud experience.

What makes this book particularly special is how it connects external seasonal changes to the internal family milestone, allowing children to see both as beautiful, natural progressions. The artwork masterfully blends realistic nature scenes with a warm, dreamlike quality that feels both comforting and magical. This picture book will especially resonate with families expecting another child, providing a gentle, positive framework for discussing the upcoming change. The combination of early learning concepts about weather patterns and color identification with its heartfelt emotional core makes it a story that families will return to throughout the year.
