A little girl reviews the seasons as they leave their impression on her garden. There is spring with the business of nest-building, summer with its abundance of roses, fall with the tangy perfume of chrysanthemum, and winter with the frozen pond surrounded by whiteness. The sensitive text and poetic illustrations of Roger Duvoisin conjure up a child's garden of stirring beauty. A book to dream over, which not only introduces the child's mind, but her senses, to a world of phenomena.
