“Readers of all ages will love this collection of poems celebrating the many faces of the natural world through the course of a year. Divided into sections marking the seasons, Outside Your Window captures the sights and sounds of the out-of-doors, from the dripping of icicles in the beginnings of spring to the joys of beachcombing a winter-storm washed shore. In addition to the poems, there are instructions for special projects to mark each season—from making compost to baking a blackberry cobbler. Each page is beautifully illustrated with a colorful collage, creating magic for young and old alike. This is the perfect ‘Grandma’s house’ book, to be picked up and shared each time a child comes to visit.”—Kristine, Snow Goose Bookstore, Stanwood, WA. Buy Outside Your Window from your local indie.
