When Spring Comes - By Kevin Henkes, illustrated by Laura Dronzek

When Spring Comes is totally gorgeous for children of all ages. It is a very gently written book that describes the change between Winter and Spring. It very cleverly observes how Spring can be changeable and how you might believe Spring has arrived when it hasn't. The sentences are simple, yet they are detailed and rhythmic. And the illustrations, are playful, colourful, simplistic, completely charming and endearing. There are tiny details included in the illustrations which detail absolutely how Spring would arrive. We adore this book because there is a sense of hope. On the first pages, the sentences start with, "If you wait," which is then followed by a glimpse of Spring. It will fill you with joy

Reading Tips: 

If reading to a baby: Encourage them to lie on their tummy and look at the illustrations with the book in front of them.

If reading to a toddler: Ask them what they can see in the illustrations. 

If reading to a child: See if they can remember any of the changes that are occurring in your environment that might indicate spring is coming.
