SYNOPSIS
The young narrator shares views outside of his window while taking
young readers on a wonderful journey through all four seasons. It is a journey
you will want to experience again and again as you explore nature's beauty.
Through magical rhymes,
the author introduces the readers to the poetic beauty of outdoor life. The
illustrator enhances the experience with colorful illustrations that celebrate
the beauty of nature's rhythms.
REVIEW SNAPSHOT
"I read the girls the story tonight before bedtime. They are 7,
7 and 6. They all liked it. Trinity (7) liked the beginning where it said the
tree was out the window because she knew it was close by. Sydney (6) liked the
parts about the acorns. Jacqueline (7) liked it all, and especially liked the
beginning because when she heard rhyming words she knew it would be a rhyming
story. "
MOM, SOUTH CAROLINA
"I love the
children's book. I find the imagery to be very unique and intriguing. I could
definitely see young children enjoying the book...I found the images to follow
along nicely with the text in the story."
MOM, FLORIDA
"The book has a
consistent design, illustrations that your target audience will relate to and
enjoy, and also just a fun and youthful look that is dead on with
kids."
MOM, CALIFORNIA
"The children's
book has turned out beautifully. While it may be typical to see more painted
type illustrations in children's books, you have created very lively images
that are able to evoke emotion and present great details...I think you have
created a piece that will appeal to your target
audience."
MOM,
MARYLAND
