ReviewsIn the middle of winter (a snowy, northern, rural winter), Sophie is ready for spring. But in the end it's Sophie herself who decides when spring has finally arrived: she runs outside and catches raindrops on her tongue. "Now I know spring is here...Because this is what spring tastes like!" The book progresses nicely through the change in seasons; double-page spreads of the landscape vary with pages of more action-filled vignettes. The happy busy-ness of a small child's world--making paper snowflakes, reading, fetching the mail, playing with the family dog--is the secondary story here, recalling the child-centered picture books of Charlotte Zolotow or Eve Rice. - The Horn Book, "The quiet, almost lyrical exchanges between Sophie and her parents ... are reinforced by Hill's exquisite gouache paintings of a rural New England landscape. Simply lovely." Shelf Awaeness, In the middle of winter (a snowy, northern, rural winter), Sophie is ready for spring.

Hill's evocative illustrations, done in gouache with "digital retouching," invite viewers to linger over each scene. Color is used sparingly until the last few double-page spreads, when spring arrives. A possible read-aloud choice for primary-grade units on the senses, this picture book will resonate with all those who find themselves yearning for spring. -- BOOKLIST, "The quiet, almost lyrical exchanges between Sophie and her parents ... are reinforced by Hill's exquisite gouache paintings of a rural New England landscape.
