Illustrated by
François Thisdale.
Arranged by season, acrostic poems accompany vivid nature illustrations (both digital and traditionally drawn and -painted) in an earthy palette. Sometimes using only one word per line, the spare, lyrical poems emphasize the cycles of nature. Thisdale's landscapes are replete with plants, seeds, and small creatures, both above and under the ground.
