Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Our Seasons
Grace Lin · 2006
82/100
👍 Worth It
Grace Lin brings her distinctive warmth and illustration style to a clever hybrid that pairs haiku with child-level science questions, making nature feel both lyrical and knowable. Educator platforms recommend it, and Lin's Newbery Honor pedigree signals consistent craft quality. The format is brief by design, which is a feature rather than a flaw for the intended early-reader audience.
