Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Caroline Pignat's first picture book is an intriguing blend of carefully composed verbal images, knit together with extraordinary visuals by the award-winning Fran�ois Thisdale. The poem is about the yearly cycle in the life of trees. But it's also an intriguing poetic concoction. The initial letters of each line in each stanza spell out a word that pertains to the theme.
For example, in the section on spring, the vertical letters spell out: SEED, GERMINATE, SHOOT, ROOTS, LEAVES, FLOWERS. The young reader will make that discovery as they read the text and look at the detailed illustrations that show a rural landscape with trees, a farmer, barns, animals, and the changing of the seasons.
"From sprouting seeds and buzzing bees to autumn art and winter's white, there is a time, and a purpose for every season. Let Caroline Pignat's sparse poems and François Thisdale's rich illustration excite your wonder at the harmony and beauty found in every stage of life."--Page [2] of cover.
"Illustrated picture book on the cycle of life including acrostic poetry that introduces young readers to the changing seasons, rhythms of nature and the natural world, animals and environment presented by award-winning illustrator using traditional drawing and painting with digital images."-- Provided by publisher.
