Lilly is a sprightly little girl who delights in the unexpected pleasures of each season, peering inside shells in the summer and tasting different kinds of apples in the autumn. In this charming and subtle book by one of France's favourite children's book authors, Lilly learns more about the outdoors and introduces the youngest readers to the colours, words and shapes that arise in nature. Silly Lilly's intimate monologues deftly capture a child's sense of wonder, in five whimsical episodes that cycle through the calendar from spring back to spring again.
