October Smiled Back — Lisa Westberg Peters

Shy November looked out
with her eyes puddle-gray.
I peeked in and whispered,
"Come on...want to play?"

By personifying the months of the year, the author of this exuberant poem brings to life the capricious feelings of friendship-- from children's quarrels to their flights of fancy. We see, through the eyes of a child, the way a friendship ebbs and flows with the changing seasons.

Beautifully illustrated, pensive, and filled with boundless energy, October Smiled Back takes readers through the months of the year-- and ends with a brand-new season of friendship.
