About

91´«Ã½

Twelve seasonal poems spanning the calendar year are accompanied by pen and ink and watercolor paintings that complement and enhance the text in this book of poetry.

"Hyman's affectionate illustrations expand Updike's poetic celebration of the changing of the seasons and holidays. The masterful paintings, depicting biracial family's experiences and activities exude warmth, wonder and quiet humor."
