From the arrival of green, "tickling the tips / of twiggy tree fingers" in spring, through the "rousing raucous celebration" of summer, to the "crisscross shadows / little twiggy spriggy shadows" of winter trees, these poems capture the seasons with wonderful rhythms, metaphors, and alliterations. The colorful quilt illustrations complement the poems and delight the eye with the details stitched into them. Hines includes an endnote about making the quilts.
