​TITLE: I HEAR THE SNOW, I SMELL THE SEA

AUTHOR: Jan Milusich

ILLUSTRATOR: Chris Raschka

OPENING LINES:
Where I live, seasons change. I know because my fingers and toes, my ears, my mouth and nose all tell me so.

​This lovely story shares how a blind child uses her senses to experience the seasons changing from winter to spring to summer to fall. She delights in tasting snowflakes as they quietly blanket the earth, smelling hyacinth’s bloom in the garden, feeling the ocean waves crash against the shore, and hearing geese honk as they fly south. Raschka’s Gorgeous illustrations accompany Milusich’s lyrical text to make this an all-around stunning book!
