This lovely book explains the science of the spring equinox as well as the cultural ramifications of the season. Diverse traditions are depicted- such as the Chinese New Year, Passover and Easter- which mark a time of new beginnings. The illustrations are as bright and vivid as the warm, welcoming colors of spring.
