A mountain introduces itself to young visitors through all five senses in this vibrant watercolor book of seasons.

Meet the narrator of this book: the mountain. It’s cold and windy up here, so you might want to shut your eyes; you don’t need them to see the mountain best, anyway.

Stay with the mountain for all four seasons, and you can truly get to know it. See the mountain with your hands in the winter, digging in the snow. With your nose in the spring, breathing in the rain and mud. With your ears in the summer, when the birds caw caw and thunder booms, and in autumn, with your tongue, biting into sweet apples and earthy mushrooms.

Steven Weinberg brings his acclaimed watercolor painting together with his award-winning writing for children in this immersive, electric ode to the wild world.


Steven Weinberg is a writer, illustrator, and painter whose children’s books have won awards and distinctions such as the Virginia Reader’s Choice Award (You Must Be This Tall), YALSA Reader’s Choice (To Timbuktu), the Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection (Astronuts: Mission One and The Middle Kid), The Today Show’s Holiday Pick (The Big Job series), and Parents Magazine Best Children’s Book 2021 (Washer & Dryer’s Big Job). With his wife Casey Scieszka, he owns and operates the Spruceton Inn: a Catskills Bed and Bar. Their annual artist residency has hosted more than a hundred artists and counting.
