A Smells of the Seasons Book


A blind girl experiences the season through her nose.


As summer thoughts stir in my mind,
I wonder what new smells I'll find.
Since noses surely help us see,
What special scents will call to me?


April, a blind girl, explores the many smells of summer in this delightful rhyming picture book. From her garden to the county fair, to Grandpa's farm, to camping in the forest, to a family barbecue and a holiday picnic, to visiting the animals in the zoo and enjoying the seashore, discover the joys of summer scents. The Smell of Summer helps children understand how we experience the world around us through the sense of smell. Kids will enjoy April's interesting pets and have fun with the activities at the end of the book using their sense of smell.
