review 1: A sweet, gentle story in which a little boy eagerly (and repeatedly!) asks his mother if it is summer yet. She reminds him of some of the signs to watch for so he'll know when summer comes, and these are cleverly juxtaposed against what they are doing/seeing in the current spring-time. I appreciate the talent that went into the illustrations though I am not sure they were especially my cup of tea. Still, the story is wonderfully lyrical and I very much enjoyed it.
review 2: This is a sweet story with lovely descriptions where a boy asks his mother over and over if it is summer yet. Her thoughtful replies help him discover clues that the season is changing. Cute!Nikki McClure's artwork is beautiful. I love the combination of simplicity and detail in the paper... more-cuts, especially after reading that when she creates illustrations by cutting paper it is all one piece and any mistakes she makes have to be incorporated into the finished design. What an amazing process! less
