Why is summer hot? Why do winter days feel so short? And why does the whole world seem to change as the months pass?
The seasons happen every year, but the science behind them is much more surprising than it seems.
In What Are the Seasons?, young readers follow Earth on its journey around the Sun and discover how our planet's tilt changes the amount of sunlight different places receive throughout the year.
Then the science comes alive all around us.
Trees burst into blossom. Summer days stretch longer. Leaves change color and fall. Snow covers the ground. Birds migrate, animals prepare for winter, plants slow down - and eventually the cycle begins again.
Children will discover:
- Why Earth has seasons
- How Earth's tilt changes sunlight through the year
- Why days are longer in summer and shorter in winter
- What happens during spring, summer, autumn, and winter
- Why leaves change color and fall
- How plants respond to changing seasons
- Why some birds migrate
- How animals survive cold winters
- How snow and ice form
- Why the seasons return year after year
Bright watercolor illustrations connect space, weather, plants, and animals, helping children see that the seasons are not four separate events - they are parts of one enormous cycle happening across our planet.
A beautiful first introduction to the science behind the changing year for curious children ages 5-12.
