When Green Becomes Tomatoes: Poems for All Seasons

Julie Fogliano

A collection of poems travels through a full year, with each poem titled by a date. The verses observe seasonal changes in every month: crocuses blooming through snow in March, summer sunshine, autumn leaves fading and blowing away, and winter snowflakes. The book also includes frogs dancing in rain and pumpkin carving on October 31. Its poems use playful language and close observation to notice the changing weather, plants, and small moments that mark the passage from one season to the next.
