When Spring Comes

Kevin Henkes

This book traces the gradual shift from winter into spring through small changes outdoors. Brown grass turns green, flowers appear, seeds begin to grow, birds hatch, and rain leaves puddles. Two young children spend time outside noticing these developments, along with bees and their boots in the changing weather. A surprise snowfall interrupts the transition, reflecting spring’s unpredictability. The repeated idea of waiting returns as the season unfolds, ending with spring’s arrival and the prospect of waiting for summer.
