By the author of the bestselling picture book Petunia, The House of Four Seasons is a bright and lively family picture book about colors, imagination, and compromiseWhen Father, Mother, Billy, and Suzy go house hunting in the country, they fall in love with a grand old house nestled among tall weeds and trees. It is in need of repair, and soon a carpenter, mason, and tinsmith come to set things straight, but it needs painting too. The family agrees it would be more fun to paint the house themselves, but no one can agree on the color, and to make matters worse, the hardware store only carries three colors: red, blue, and yellow. But Father has an idea. “You’ll see, he says, “colors can do many tricks when they get together,” and with a sudden flourish, a color wheel appears! Budding artists and engineers will love this surprising story, and adults would do well to note how Father arrives at a winning trifecta of negotiation, education, and thrift.

Winter. Spring. Summer. Autumn. My Four Seasons follows a charming protagonist through the change of seasons and a vibrant collection of David Ryski's iconic illustrations. Bold colors bring the nuances of each of the four seasons to life: the autumnal foliage in its gold and red glory; the crisp white of winter months; the bright yellow of a summer sun; and the green and floral palette of fresh spring landscapes. As the pages of My Four Seasons turn, so do the seasons. A traipse through a city buried in snow leads to a scene of springtime renewal. Before summer arrives, My Four Seasons portrays the planting to be done before a plentiful harvest. BBQs and lakeside outings paint a backdrop of summer leisure soon to be usurped by autumn winds and Halloween fiends. As all is a cycle, winter returns to begin Mother Nature's seasonal tale once more while its white quilt covers the ground, welcoming slumber to both reader and foliage.
