Publisher Description
Winner of the Northern Lights Nature Award
A gorgeous picture book that celebrates the magic of the seasons and the joys of family.
Come next season . . .
The lake will sparkle.
The leaves will fall from the trees.
We’ll play all day in the snow.
We’ll visit the farm—and maybe make a friend.
Every season is full of its own magic, every change brings new excitement, and every experience is better when it’s shared. With poetic text from bestselling author Kim Norman, brought to life by critically acclaimed illustrator Daniel Miyares, Come Next Season is a celebration of nature, adventure, and family—all year round.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"Come summer,/ we'll visit the lake./ When we spot a sparkle through the trees,/ we'll race to the rope, bellowing/ Cannonbaaall!' " Readers follow a child's joyful leap to splash into this loping evocation of specific seasonal joys, among them gathering pecans, sledding, and getting a puppy from a farm. Norman's text follows two siblings through the turning seasons, evoking a fantasy of rural childhood in a four-season climate, where in summer, "it will be our job to shuck the corn for supper./ We'll eat outside, smacking mosquitoes/ between buttery bites," and in winter, "sorting puzzles on the carpet,/ we'll look up when a TV voice says,/ Snow tomorrow!' " Miyares's bright illustrations combine washes of vibrant color with earnest details: overalls and ball caps, red barns and rag rugs, pecan trees and tire swings. The story offers well-established seasonal repertoire in a skillful, appealing presentation. Ages 3 6.
