Eighteen original poems abundantly illustrated in full color represent young children playing in all types of weather during each of the seasons. Four double-page spreads suggest a panorama of seasonal neighborhood activities. As always, Hughes excels at portraying toddlers acting their ages and people from diverse ethnic backgrounds and generations. (Ages 3-8)

In this collection of poems, a small girl and her baby brother romp through the changing seasons, taking pleasure in the different elements and weather conditions - sunshine, wind, rain, mist, snow. From the joys of the seaside to the miseries of the sickbed, the world of childhood is explored.
