Ultra-Modern Book Review of Spring Brings Summer by Allistar Banks
Spring Brings Summer is a colorfully intriguing book of haikus written by Allistar Banks and beautifully illustrated in watercolors by Colleen Bartlett. The author describes some of the feelings, sounds, sights, smells, and tastes that are often equated with the seasons of spring and summer. Readers experience everything from the touch of a butterfly on a warm spring day to enjoying an ice cream cone on the beach in the hot sun.
Allistar Banks manages to relay a whole story using so few words. The proses are precise. Adults will enjoy this book because of its classic relatable haikus. Spring Brings Summer is an excellent resource for teachers as it incorporates the traditional 5-7-5 rule while successfully defining nature and the seasons. There are many ELA lessons one may incorporate when teaching the poetry style haiku. Spring Brings Summer is a beautiful gift in an Easter basket or for parents looking for the perfect summer reading book. As I read Spring Brings Summer on a cold winter’s night in New York City, my body was immediately warmed by memories of hotter days. Even when you close the book, the prose, images, and feelings stay with you. Spring Brings Summer is a small “must-have” for your personal or class library.
