Lyric's Favorite Season

Illustrated by Cathy Ann Johnson
A little girl sings the praises of all four seasons in a playful picture book that celebrates the joys to be found throughout the year.

Lyric loves every single season. Spring makes her so happy! Birds singing, plants sprouting, double-Dutching in the park. But hold on—what’s that peeking around the corner? It’s summer! Beach trips, family cookouts, playing cards, and jamming to hip-hop and merengue. Summer really is the best. Except . . . did someone say fall? Hooray for brilliant colors, leaves swirling, and making sweet potato pie. And then, of course, there’s winter, which brings the magic of snowflakes, the coziness of cocoa and fireplaces, and the joy of holidays.

It’s easy to see why Lyric can’t choose just one favorite season— there’s so much to love about them all!
