Mr. Updike writes a poem to represent each month. Each poem captures the mood and theme of the month. His word choice and his use of figurative language add richness to the poems.
Ms. Hyman's illustrations depict one single family and their activities for each month. I like the idea that the reader can view a family and their celebrations for an entire year. The illustrations are cozy and detailed. They celebrate home and family.
*Highly recommend.
