Illustrated by
Greg Couch.
Soft illustrations in a somewhat impressionistic style aptly illustrate this story of Mother Earth's awaking her three daughters March, April, and May to bring their season to life. In occasionally forced rhymes, the sisters squabble competitively, then realize that their mother loves them "ALL the best," after which "Spring's Sprung! A new day's begun."
