Summersaults: Poems and Paintings
by Douglas Florian
HarperCollins Children's Books
You shivered with delight at Winter Eyes, Doug Florian's award-winning tribute to winter. Now prepare to leap for joy over Summersault, the best-selling author-artist's celebration of all things deliciously summer. In these twenty-eight exuberant poems, you'll find inspiration (and perhaps a dash of perspiration) in the hazy days, the fly balls, the swimming holes, and the treat of oh-so-bare feet. Even the thunderstorms and mosquito bites seem too good to miss. And if you're not ready to tumble into autumn at the end of the season, don't sweat it—do Summersaults!
