About the Book and Soundscape

Before spring comes, the trees are dark sticks, the grass is brown, and the ground is covered in snow. But if you wait, leaves unfurl and flowers blossom, the grass turns green, and the mounds of snow shrink. Listen for sounds of rain, crickets, sloppy mud splashes, and cats in this spring story!
