A Year with Mama Earth, Hardcover

In September, Mama Earth sighs out the first autumn frost, which crunches under children's feet. Mama Earth looks after nature's plants and animals throughout the year--singing lullabies to fat bears in the fall, dressing evergreens in icicles in winter, and waking up the crocuses in spring. And in the summer, Mama Earth sends warm sunbeams to her beloved children, so they can play outside and enjoy the amazing world around them.

With enchanting text and radiant artwork, A Year with Mama Earth offers a joyous celebration of nature's beauty and the changing seasons.
