Summer Song

Summer unfolds through its colors, sounds, and sensations. Green appears in leaves, trees, weeds, and grass, including tall grass moved by wind. The season’s music also comes from air conditioners, fans, sprinklers, lawn mowers, birds, rain, thunder, and insects. Fog, water, and sky add gray and blue to the landscape, while children appear outdoors in the illustrations. As daylight begins to shorten, the summer song starts changing toward fall, bringing the season’s wide-open days to a close.
