(3) K-3 Illustrated by Diana Sudyka. "Sometimes piles. / Ten feet tall. / Sometimes jumping into fall." Using rhyme and repetition, a spare text celebrates all the seasons have to offer, including picnics cut short by rain, sledding and snowmen, mud, and chasing butterflies. The playful gouache-watercolor illustrations extend the narrative, filling in details and adding levity. This book could serve as an accessible prompt for young writers.
