Handsprings

Handsprings Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

What do you like about spring?

Longer days?
Blooming flowers?
April Fools'?
Cool spring showers?

What do you not like about spring?

Spring-cleaning?
Insect swarms?
Mud, mud, mud?
Thunderstorms?

This collection of poems and paintings captures the freshness and promise of spring, whether it comes in like a lion or a lamb. A companion to the highly praised Winter Eyes, Summersaults, and Autumnblings, Handsprings completes Douglas Florian's seasonal celebration.

Review:

"[A]ll recommend this handsomely designed collection to anyone looking for poems of the season." Horn Book Magazine

Synopsis:

Twenty–nine poems about spring are illustrated with Douglas Florian's distinctive and buoyant watercolours and extol the many virtues of the season–from those muddy puddles and emerging bulbs to rain showers and rainbows and that first day without mittens. Concrete poems, humour, ingenious wordplay, and audience appeal make this a consummate companion to the acclaimed poet's first three seasonal collections.
