When Spring Comes
Written by Kevin Henkes and illustrated by Laura Dronzek — with illustrations by a fellow artist
When it is cold and snowy and bleak and brown, Spring seems very far away. But, if you wait, soon you will see leaves and blossoms. Soon you will feel pussy willows and raindrops. Soon you will smell flowers and mud. Soon you will hear birds and buzzing bees.
Are you ready for Spring?
