Illustrated by
Jan Davey Ellis.
With bright illustrations and rich borders, this book describes several springtime holidays. Attention is paid to earlier civilizations' rituals as well as modern celebrations, and Jackson also describes planting-time rituals in countries that do not experience springtime changes in weather. An Anglo-Saxon legend and three pages of suggested spring activities end the book. Bib.
