Illustrated by
Nicoletta Ceccoli.
Lady Winter and Sister Spring rule harmoniously over their respective seasons--until the icy sibling decides she wants to delay the warm months. Bear, Ladybug, Skunk, Caterpillar, and Maple Tree try unsuccessfully to foil her plans, but Robin, risking injury, brings the morning light from Mother Sun to accomplish their goal. Softly textured, luminous acrylic paintings make even cruel winter look enchanting.
