Laura Dronzek's glowing paintings beautifully illustrate the wonders of summer.

Back Jacket
Summer is a song.
A green song.
Green on green on green.
Summer also sings
with growing and glowing,
chirping and buzzing,
whirring and humming,
splashing and sprinkling,
and a breeze blowing
grass, leaves, and trees.
Have you ever noticed that everything in the summer sounds like music?
Listen! Listen!
But mostly, play along.
