About: An illustrated book of poetry about the colours of seasons.
Thoughts: I'll probably buy this book, I love the illustrations so much. Mixed media and rich colours helped me enjoy the poetry a lot more than if the poems had appeared on their own. Were the poems written to go with the paintings or the other way around? They pair beautifully. Read this aloud with my husband.
This author and illustrator have paired to create another volume I enjoyed which was This is just to say: Poems of Apology and forgiveness.
It's about a class of Grade six students who write letters of apology to those around them about something they feel they've done wrong. The first half of the book is the class poetry, the second half are the responses. Some of them made me laugh, a couple of them broke my heart, but they all were worth it to read.

NOTE: This is fiction, the class does not actually exist.
But it's easy to imagine they do.
