The bittersweet wrap up of summer days

 

The New York Times recently invited readers to read this book as an end of summer activity. What a terrific suggestion! I am ashamed to say that this is the first time that I have read this Caldecott winner. It won in 1958 so that is a little bit before my time. ;) This book celebrates the raw beauty of nature in summer. It also devotes part of the story line to a hurricane,,,wow! When you are bidding farewell (in this case, to the summer cabin), what a great idea to reflect on the time of wonder that you have had. Bittersweet!
