Combining a diverse selection of classic quotations and forty-eight poems, twelve for each of the four seasons, with the energetic and colorful paintings of a Caldecott Medal winning illustratror, this is the definitive collection of poems about the seasons for children and adults. Spring births a polliwog that becomes a "full frog"; in summer, wildflowers choreograph an extravaganza; autumn's apples are found in generations of people's pockets; and winter's snowfall makes inanimate objects more beautiful than we could ever imagine. In addition to master poets Carl Sandburg, Richard Brautigan, Joseph Bruhac, and Karla Kuskin, twnety-nine of the poems have been especially commissioned by a host of contemporary poets such as Rebecca Kai Dotlich, Joan Bransfield Graham, J. Patrick Lewis, and Marilyn Singer.
The exciting, bold palette of Caldecott Medallist David Diaz brings the seasons to life and asks us to look at the seasons all over again, for the first time.

Sharing the Seasons: A Book of Poems
"Sharing the Seasons" is a colorful book that walks through the four seasons sharing experiences that all children can relate to that occur during each of the seasons. The book begins with spring, then follows on to summer, fall, and winter. Each season has 12 poems, beginning with one titled for that season. These poems contain creative word choice, which could be pointed out during a writer's workshop mini lesson. I would highly recommend this book to be used in a classroom. I think that even focusing on the 12 poems regarding each season during that season would be a great way to incorporate this book in the classroom. You could also use these poems while studying compare and contrast.
I have to admit, poetry is definitely an area of literature where my classroom is lacking. I can see myself using this creative, colorful book to gain the interest of my students to explore poetry more in my second grade classroom.
