A deer runs over the hard-packed January snow in a glistening white world... In May the myrtle warblers build their nests and sing their joy... "Going home/we're going home," cry the Canada geese as they prepare to fly south in October.

Other animals, too—a bullhead, a deer mouse, a bear, an owl, and more—add their voices to create an unforgettable natural symphony in praise of the changing seasons.

With a different animal for each month of the year, and from each animal's special point of view, Marilyn Singer's joyous, evocative verse brings the natural world vividly to life.

Award-winning artist Jerry Pinkney's luminous artwork adds to the spell of this magical volume.
