My second book Cherry Cake and Ginger Beer was published by Hodder & Stoughton in July 2008 and my third book with Hodder Ripping Things to Do was published in July 2009.

I am also the creator of the yarnstorm blog. I set up yarnstorm in February 2005 in order to write about knitting but the subject matter soon expanded to include quilting, baking, gardening, colour, inspiration, books, paintings and films (in fact, all the good things in domestic life). I am now blogging at the new jane brocket blog at www.yarnstorm.blogs.com/jane_brocket

I live with my husband Simon and our three children in Berkshire.

This is a lovely spin on the "books of seasons." Gorgeous photography, a fun font, and a fresh look make this book stand out as an ideal purchase for libraries looking to refresh their young children's books on seasons.

A lovely non-fiction book about the seasons. Great photography and entertaining text. Suited to US seasons though - Australian ones are not quite the same.

I think that this book is great for younger students. It teaches them how you can tell each seasons by nature and other factors. It describes the colors of each seasons and how they follow eachother.
