I enjoyed reading this story because it shows all the colors of nature and how those change as the year goes on. I thought the illustrations represented each season well and how each color can be seen in all seasons.
pickRed Sings from Treetops a year in colors won the Caldecott medal in 2010. This book shows how colors are used in each season. Each color is personified to show how they work together to represent each season. The illustrations convey how the colors can be seen within the seasons.
This book (poetry) explores the seasons and their associated colors and sounds. This picture book is perfect for teaching poetry and has won 2010 Caldecott award. An interactive read aloud would be great for this book by getting students involved and activating their background knowledge on the seasons. #ucflae3414sp21

pick#FallIntoReading Day 20: Each line in this book leaves an imprint, an echo of the seasons. Zagarenski does each dripping, crunchy, windswept line so much justice with her distinctive art. I love how the colors speak, taste, and touch the winds, the leaves, the gnarled branches. Each page is a gift from summer and spring, winter and #autumn, but my favorite is the contrast of Black and White in the fall. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-57A
