Review Quotes:

"A gentle, gorgeous welcome to summer's end and fall's beginning, perfect for storytime or one-on-one reading." --School Library Journal

"A visual success conjuring up the best about the seasons' changes." --Kirkus Reviews

"The focus is on the natural world, but Pak (Flowers Are Calling) celebrates city life, too, with drawings of diverse townspeople . . . that show a rainbow of a community. It's a thoughtful look at the kind of change that unfolds almost imperceptibly." --Publishers Weekly
