Four Seasons of Joy! takes a light-hearted look at the changes throughout the year as viewed by a child. Using different forms of poetry from Haiku to Limericks, rhyming verse and an acrostic, Four Seasons of Joy! can be read by early readers, but is even more fun to read with parents. Holly hopes parents will be encouraged to share their own childhood memories as they read with their child.

“The joys of writing are many fold. They swirl through our imaginations and, like the changing seasons in this delightful collection of verse, capture the essence of times that do not stand still but leave us with constant hope and renewal. I’m delighted to see my friend Holly capture her creative and inspiring thoughts to paper and be able to pass them along to another generation. The poems are inspiring and so full of the love for family and friends. The gift of writing is, indeed, a gift to share.” - Clary Croft
