WHEN SPRING COMES
Written by
Natalie Kinsey-Warnock
Illustrated by Stacey Schuett
Published by Dutton, 1993. ISBN#0-525-45-008-4.

A young girl gazes out her winter window, anticipating the scents and sounds and special pleasures of the coming spring. The days will be warm and tender and free, the nights filled with the music of treefrogs. Then there is a jingling of bells. The girl's reverie breaks off and she plunges into the present, which proves to be every bit as rich, splendid--and joyful--as anything she has imagined. With a rare, graceful skill, this sensuous picture book evokes the warmth of rural times past, as well as the burning exhilaration of being fully alive in the infinity of "now".

"Kinsey-Warnocks carefree mood piece recalls the wholesome joys of an earlier rural time...bolstered by the sweeping, lyrical artwork. Schuett's large-as-life perspectives imbue the story with an engrossing sense of drama--witness the sleigh-ride scene that whisks riders off into a shimmering winter night."--Publishers Weekly.

Let's-Read-and-Find-Out originator Franklyn M. Branley and Stacey Schuett have teamed up to shed some light on the question of how we can see even when it's dark...you'll learn how the sun's light reaches us, and how your nightlight works. SB&F, American Association for the Advancement of Science--Best Books for Children, 1998.

"Handsome acrylic paintings appealingly interpret the text...the book succeeds admirably in leading readers to look at familiar phenomena from different perspectives."
--ALA Booklist
