Summer Song

“If I had to pick one color,
I'd say Summer is green.
Green on green on green.
Summer is a green song.”

Author Kevin Henkes walks us through all the sounds of summer—grass in the wind, sprinklers, birds, lawn mowers—and all the colors of summer—yellow summer sun, gray fog, blue beach—and returns to the idea that started him out...summer is a green song. And then he eases it out and as it changes, changes, into fall.
