This lyrical story names colors seen in the typical four seasons. Within the illustrations is another story with a family preparing for the arrival of a new baby.

Using the lens of color to journey through the seasons of a year, this quiet, lyrical picture book celebrates the small wonders of the natural world and the different activities a family and their friends do during different times of year.

Gorgeous! The verse is original, perfect:
Lemonade petals.
Sunflakes between.
Lemonade, sunflakes, and yellow on green.
An evocative story of color, seasons, and community.

I really loved the writing - 5 stars for that.
The illustration style just didn’t rock me - 3 stars for that.
So overall 4 stars. Loved the changing of the seasons and family activities.

So gorgeous and simple! This book is colors + seasons + poetry + great illustration and I'm totally smitten. Also now I'm realizing I've been getting [a:Francesca Sanna|14931739|Francesca Sanna|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1489248197p2/14931739.jpg] and [a:Felicita Sala|14128155|Felicita Sala|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/f_50x66-6a03a5c12233c941481992b82eea8d23.png] mixed up both because of their names AND their styles! They're both wonderful!

Read this to some of my students this week for a delayed Earth Day celebration and it was a hit! The kids love the rhyming text and the illustrations are absolutely GORGEOUS. Such a wonderful little book that really captures the beauty of the planet and its seasons.

A curious young child living in a house in the country with his family - dad and pregnant mom - explores the four seasons through the prism of color. It begins in the spring and each season is celebrated with a wordless two page illustration followed by four two-page spreads. The text is written in a gentle, lyrical rhyme, with three line on each spread. The illustrations are done with watercolor, gouache, and color pencils in a folk art style that just compliments the text so well. Sala has included so many delightful objects in each page that my young readers spent some happy time exploring them all.
As the days grow longer and warmer, spring's color is yellow - flowers, bees, lemonade, sunflakes plus green:
"Lemonade petals
Sunflakes between
Lemonade, sunflakes, and yellow on green."
When the days grow hotter, summer's color is blue - coral, shell, the ocean, with some yellow - sand, sun, meadow - plus green
"Turquoise water,
Teal between,
Turquoise, teal,
and blue on green."
Autumn brings cooler temps and as trees and grass change, the main color is brown - squirrels, mice, trees, cinnamon spic, with some yellow - corn, leaves - plus green
"Cinnamon spice,
Almond between.
Cinnamon, almond,
and brown on green."
Cold Winter, with its snow and green pine trees is white - snow, breath - with some gray and taupe - plus green
"Peaceful the evening.
Pine between,
Evening and pine and green..."
I was lucky enough to be able to share this lovely book with my young readers before we had to go our separate ways because of the Cornonavirus. One of the things that they all noticed is how the mom' pregnancy becomes more and more apparent until finally the last illustration brings readers back to green spring and mom holding with a new baby. I read this book a number of times to them and we has a lot of fun naming colors and counting things we found in the book.
Dianne White has a wonderful Activity Kit that you can be used with or without a copy of Green on Green and you can download it HELP. I printed copies for my kiddos to take home with them and bring back whenever we meet again in to future. I'm excited to see what they do with it.
Green on Green is a lovely, joyful book that is perfect for young readers. If you are home schooling during this time, pair it with Blue on Blue, another book by Dianne White that has been a favorite of my young readers for a while now.
This book is recommended for readers age 4+
