Perhaps you don’t know this about me, but I am an elephant who loves poetry. When Ladybug told me she was reading a book about a place with very few colors, I decided to read a book about lots of colors! This beautiful poetry collection describes what happens to the colors during each season of the year.

In spring, red is a robin, singing from treetops. In summer, red is a beetle. In fall, red is a crisp, juicy apple, and in winter,

“Red beats inside me:
thump-thump-thump.
Red glows
in the strengthening sun.”

Have a happy, colorful New Year!
