A sweet, tender story about the love between grandparent and grandchild takes the reader on a walk through the seasons. The relationship between the grandmother and grandson shines through in both the illustrations and words. The rhymes flow well and are read easily. So much so that when I finished it and saw it was described as a rhyming book, I had to go back and check to see that it was so. The poetic texts details and invites readers to reflect on the sites, tastes, sounds and feels of each season – spring rainbow, a chilly ice pop in summer, fleeces and sweaters in autumn, and hot cocoa and peppermint tea in winter. A perfect bedtime story to let a child know they are loved. This active Grandma is pretty cool, too!
