From the Celebrate the Seasons series, this brightly illustrated picture book series offers sensory impressions and childlike experiences representative of the four seasons. Writing from a boy's perspective, the author proves an astute observer of what four season's look and feel like to a child. Swan's eye-catching artwork underlines the three-dimensional quality of collage. Rather than trying to mask the joint marks where one piece of painted-and-cut paper meets another, the illustrator uses light and shadow to highlight the overlapping papers and create a greater sense of depth. Age 4-8
