It's Spring! by Linda Glaser

It's Spring is a visually stunning introduction to the wonders of the spring season, designed to engage young readers through simple, lyrical text and bold, beautiful paper-sculpture artwork. Each spread captures the magic of spring as animals awaken, plants begin to grow, and the world fills with fresh colors, changing weather, and joyful movement.

Through age-appropriate language and striking dimensional illustrations, children are introduced to key springtime concepts such as new life in nature, seasonal clothing, and the emotions often associated with longer days and warmer weather. The tactile, sculptural art style encourages visual exploration and helps build early observation skills, making this an ideal read-aloud for toddlers and preschoolers.

In addition to exploring seasonal themes, It's Spring includes hands-on nature activities tailored to the season, encouraging children to step outside, observe their surroundings, and interact with the natural world. These activities promote curiosity, sensory awareness, and early learning through play.

Perfect for early learners, classrooms, and home libraries, It's Spring supports early vocabulary development, seasonal awareness, and a love of nature--making it a timeless addition to any child's bookshelf and a wonderful way to celebrate the beauty and excitement of spring.

Linda Glaser is the author of numerous children's picture books. After witnessing the actual Fivel speak to a sixth grade Sunday school class, she was inspired to create her first novel. His rich stories inspired her, and she felt as if she was connecting with the world of her Eastern European Jewish ancestors, who were also immigrants. Her spouse and two daughters live in Duluth, Minnesota. This is her first Houghton Mifflin book.
