Songs for the Seasons

by Jamake Highwater, Sandra Speidel (Illustrator)

"Highwater describes the changes in nature as plants and animals respond to the seasons. Speidel's soft paintings fill the pages and balance the strong verbal imagery that celebrates the ever-changing natural world. Teachers and librarians looking for a book on the subject will find this one appealing. Information about the red-tailed hawk that appears in each picture is appended."--Booklist.

About the author

Jamake Highwater, born as Jackie Marks, and also known as Jay or J Marks (14 February 1931–June 3, 2001), was an American writer and journalist of eastern European Jewish ancestry.[1] From the late 1960s he claimed to be of Native American ancestry, specifically Cherokee. In that period, he published extensively under the name of Jamake Highwater. One version of his shifting story was that he had been adopted as a child and taken from his Indian home in Montana to grow up in a Greek or Armenian family in Los Angeles, California.
