## Description

Watch the world transform when spring comes! In a starred review, School Library Journal called this delightful picture book “A must-have, joyful seasonal title for the youngest listeners.” In this beautiful book for young children, Caldecott Medalist and Newbery Honor author Kevin Henkes uses striking imagery, repetition, and alliteration to introduce basic concepts of language and the changing of the seasons. And acclaimed artist Laura Dronzek’s gorgeous, lush paintings show the transformation from quiet, cold winter to the newborn spring. Before spring comes, the trees are dark sticks, the grass is brown, and the ground is covered in snow. But if you wait, leaves unfurl and flowers blossom, the grass turns green, and the mounds of snow shrink and shrink. Spring brings baby birds, sprouting seeds, rain and mud, and puddles. You can feel it and smell it and hear it—and you can read it! In a starred review, The Horn Book said, “This joyful reflection is as welcome as spotting the first brave crocus.” In the Middle of Fall, Winter Is Here, When Spring Comes, and Summer Song make for a beautiful quartet of seasonal-theme picture books to share at home or in the classroom. Ideal for introducing the season, for story time, and for bedtime reading.

Review: When Spring Comes - A lovely book. My preschoolers enjoyed the illustrations and story.
Review: Lovely - As a teacher the language and illustrations were lovely. The children related to the understanding of waiting. I bought the other ones in this season set.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Spring book
*by D***N on May 26, 2024*

I’m a children’s librarian and I use this book for storytime every spring. The illustrations are absolutely beautiful and it describes and explains the changing season in a way that little kids can relate to and understand. This is one of my favorite children’s books. I also love the size of the book. It’s a bit larger than an average picture book so it makes a great read aloud book.
