It is such a delight to find an author you love. To read a book that so completely resonates with what you believe that certain kind of books should feel like. That one book was pleasure enough, but to find that they have published another book–well, let’s just all go run around in a circle with joy.

I have praised Il Sung Na’s stories and accompanying art before, but his new book, Snow Rabbit, Spring Rabbit, is not only timely, but just a beautiful as his other books.

Meet Rabbit, ready for winter with his white fur, as he finds out what the other animals of world do to get ready for winter. So fly south, some hibernate, so swim to warmer waters, and some burrow under ground. But as spring comes and the world begins to un-thaw, all the animals know that spring is here, including the rabbit who is no longer white, but has changed colors to tan.

With his mixed media illustrations and simple stories, not only is this a great read aloud picture book, but also a great way to introduce the changing of the seasons.
