Out and About: A First Book of Poems

(3) PS This seasonal poetry collection follows a young girl as she enjoys the outdoors: splashing through puddles in spring, making sandcastles in summer, running through fallen leaves in autumn, sledding in winter. Throughout, the voice is authentically childlike; cheerful illustrations featuring lots of activity and points of interest (and a matter-of-factly multiethnic cast) provide a friendly, homey setting.
