Using brief rhyming text, this book introduces flowers typical of cold-climate North America in seasonal blooming order, beginning with the early-arriving snowdrop and crocus and ending with autumn's chrysanthemums. Though the illustrations of animals lack warmth, the digital-collage depictions of flowers are eye-catching and appropriately vibrant. Further information about the flowers is appended.
