Red Sings from Treetops


The richness of color is explored in this poetically whimsical book. The apparel of the lady on each page matches the colors of the seasonal display, and her hat-wearing dog many times rolls along beside her on wheels. The senses are made more magical during each season with the rustle of brown autumn leaves, the shout of yellow light, and the clink of white ice cubes. I am convinced that this book, with saturated scenes from Zagrenski and luscious text by Sidman, will satiate your reading needs.

"Fall smells purple: old leaves, crushed berries, squishy plums with worms in them. Purple: the smell of all things mixed together."
