With loosely drawn watercolor and ink illustrations and a text based on the traditional English folk song "The Green Leaves Grew Around," Voake beautifully evokes springtime. The illustrations focus on two children playing under a tree and baby birds hatching in the branches above. The song's words and music are printed on the back endpapers.
