When Summer Comes

When Summer Comes

Exploring Nature in Our Warmest Season
by Aimée M. Bissonette; Illustrated by Erin Hourigan

Poetic children’s book celebrating nature and wildlife in the summer season.

Summer is the perfect season for families to embrace the outdoors.  When Summer Comes celebrates playing and exploring in the wilderness during the summer months.

   When summer comes,
and the sky soars blue above us,
and the days stretch long and warm before us,
some people head to ball games and outdoor markets.

Instead we gather our gear.

Binoculars.
Hiking poles.
Backpacks.
Butterfly nets.
Shovels and buckets for trips to the shore.

Summer’s the season when we explore.

This follow up to When Winter Comes is about the joy of being outdoors and discovering wildlife during the summer months.
