And Then It’s Spring | February 29, 2012

by Julie Fogliano illustrated by Erin Stead (Macmillan, Feb. 2012)

It’s sunny and warm outside… time to get excited for Spring! Two books out this season capture the anticipation of March and make a perfect pair for story-time. And Then It’s Spring, by Julie Fogliano, contains truly exceptional phrases like, “And it is still brown, but a very hopeful, very possible sort of brown.” Caldecott-medalist Erin Stead’s illustrations transport the small boy planting his garden from the neutral tones of winter to the vibrant greens of spring.
