A Year with Mama Earth

A Year with Mama Earth
by Rebecca Grabill (Author) and Rebecca Green (Illustrator)

Booktalk: In September, Mama Earth sighs out the first autumn frost, which crunches under children’s feet. Mama Earth looks after nature’s plants and animals throughout the year–singing lullabies to fat bears in the fall, dressing evergreens in icicles in winter, and waking up the crocuses in spring. And in the summer, Mama Earth sends warm sunbeams to her beloved children, so they can play outside and enjoy the amazing world around them.

Snippet:
Mama Earth rustles her autumn wings
to cool her hot tired face.
She sighs, and the first autumn frost
crackles over bowing stalks of corn.
Pumpkins peek out from under
wide, yellowing leaves.
They’ve been playing peek-a-boo,
shaded from the blistering heat
all this time.
