One of the first major award-winning titles to feature an interracial family, A Child’s Calendar combines the star power of John Updike and Trina Schart Hyman.

Celebrate the little moments that make each month special in this Caldecott Honor book, featuring twelve poems about a family and the turn of the seasons. From the short, frozen days of January, through the light of summer, to the first snowflakes of December, Updike’s poems rejoices in the familiar, wondrous qualities that make each part of the year unique.

Hyman’s award-winning paintings–modeled after her own daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren–depict an interracial family going about the business of their lives throughout the sledding in January, watching fireworks in July, and playing in the autumn leaves.

A perfect read-aloud for the family, throughout the whole year.
