Changes: A Child’s First Poetry Collection

Twenty-eight poems follow the changing seasons, moving from spring birds and nests to summer roses, autumn leaves, and winter snow. The collection considers how the natural world continually changes while seasonal patterns return again and again. Its poems attend to both physical details outdoors and the emotional lives of children, pairing observations about flowers, breezes, and skies with the recurring rhythms of the year. Full-page scenes and smaller illustrations accompany the poems.
