Leaves in All Seasons

Written by Joanne Linden & illustrated by Laurie CapleĀ 

From the unwelcome prickle of the thistle to the generous shade of the catalpa tree, leaves come in a remarkable and surprising variety of shapes, colors, and sizes. Children will be delighted by the fourteen diverse North American plants depicted in this book, from weeping willow and cedar to cattail and poison ivy.

The author introduces each plant with a poem and explains its leafy character in a nature note. The plants are organized by season, starting with the tender fiddleheads of a fern in early spring and ending with the snow-dusted needles of the balsam fir. The scientifically trained illustrator deftly places insects and animals among the foliage in her beautiful watercolors, adding to their visual appeal. 32 pages
