Seasons: A Book of Poems

There is a special kind of quiet

every household knows

we hear it in our sleep

the first night it snows

In her first book written for beginning readers, Charlotte Zolotow's poetry evokes — with her signature warmth and insight — the highlights and emotions of a child's year. Erik Blegvad's drawings masterfully portray the scenes of nature, family, friendship, and solitude.
