A clever, vibrant tour through the seasons emphasizes just a few colors for each season in a series of rhyming tercets, each one ending with a different color of green. ("Endless the sun. / Shade between. / Sun and shade and blue on green.") Watercolor, gouache, and colored pencil illustrations show a brown-skinned, blue-eyed family across the seasons, with the passage of time including the mother's pregnancy leading to the arrival of a new baby by the end of the year.
