Joyce Sidman
Red Sings from Treetops: A Caldecott Honor Award Winner
Stealth Science
Why this book counts
- Earth Science
- Environment & Ecology
- Lyrical / Visual Picture Book
Red Sings from Treetops moves through the year in poems that notice seasonal colors through sight, sound, smell, and taste. Its personification invites readers to hunt for concrete changes in sky, plants, animals, and weather beneath the language, making phenology feel like sensory play.
The science inside
- Weather & Climate
- Ecosystems
- Plants & Botany
Your child will meet:
- Seasonal changes alter temperature, daylight, plant growth, and visible animal activity.
- Repeated sensory observations can reveal patterns in a place across the year.
- Color in nature can be described artistically even when the underlying object or season is observed accurately.
Use it this way
Parent effort: Quick discussion
With original and spot-on perceptions, Joyce Sidman's poetry brings the colors of the seasons to life in a fresh light, combining the senses of sight, sound, smell and taste. In this Caldecott Honor book, illustrator Pam Zagarenski's interpretations go beyond the concrete, allowing us to not just see color, but feel it.
