Summer Song

Acclaimed husband-and-wife team Kevin Henkes and Laura Dronzek’s fourth and final seasonal picture book. Summer Song features stunning summery paintings and a lyrical text that work together to introduce concepts of summer. In a starred review, Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books calls Summer Song “a sensory feast.”

Summer is a song.
A green song.
Green on green on green.
Summer also sings
with growing and glowing,
chirping and buzzing,
whirring and humming,
splashing and sprinkling,
and a breeze blowing
grass, leaves, and trees.

Have you ever noticed that everything in the summer sounds like music?

Listen! Listen!

But mostly, play along.
