Stead, recipient of the 2011 Caldecott Medal.  And Then It's Spring is one The Washington Post's Best Kids Books of 2012.One of Kirkus Reviews' Best Children's Books of 2012

Review

"This seemingly real-time experience of getting to green is a droll, wistful ode to the stamina behind wanting, will, and perseverance." School Library Journal, Starred Review

Review

"This sweet seedling will undoubtedly take root and thrive." Kirkus, Starred Review

Review

"Fogliano's poetic yet grounded narrative is reminiscent of Charlotte Zolotow's picture-book texts in its understatement and straightforward, childlike observations....As for the illustrations, there's no sophomore slump for Stead: her second book is even better than her 2011 Caldecott winner, A Sick Day for Amos McGee." Horn Book Magazine, Starred Review

Review

"A first-time author and the Caldecott Award-winning illustrator of A Sick Day for Amos McGee (2011) team up in this beautiful ode to a patient gardener." Booklist, Starred Review

Review

"[A] humble yet miraculous world." BCCB

When Maple is tiny, her parents plant a maple tree in her honor.

About the Author

Julie Fogliano has spent her entire life reading children's books. Now she stays up way too late writing her own books while eating cereal. She lives in the Hudson Valley with her husband and their two boys. They make her very tired, but give her lots of good ideas. This is her first book. Erin E. Stead first met Julie Fogliano while working together in a New York City bookstore. Today she lives in a 100-year-old barn in Ann Arbor, Michigan, with her husband, Philip, who is an author and illustrator, and with whom she co-created A Sick Day For Amos McGee, winner of the 2011 Caldecott Medal, for Roaring Brook Press. Erin creates her illustrations using woodblock printing techniques and pencil. blog.erinstead.com
