Now I See Spring by Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen is a spare, beautiful board book that moves through a familiar world — the house, the tree, the garden, me — and shows what spring looks like through a child's eyes. The tree's leaves are just budding, rain falls from the sky, the sweet treat is a cookie, and the perfect hat is a yellow one that keeps you dry.

One of four books in the Now I See series, each volume uses identical text with the same familiar subjects — the house, the tree, the garden, me — illustrated differently to reflect the changing seasons. Equally lovely read alone or collected as a set.
