 | July by Ellen B. Jackson, Pat DeWitt, Robin DeWitt
Did you ever wonder how April Fool's Day came about? Or what the January flower is? Or why the Anglo-Saxons referred to May as Thrimilce As the year unfolds, each month brings its own changes and beginnings. Over time, special attributes have been given to each month based on changing seasons, habits and lifecycles of animals and plants, historical events, legends and myths, and much more. Perfect for readers of all ages, these gift books look at the diversity of life across North America. For instance, in January, people are playing beach volleyball in Hawaii, while the northeast is covered with snow, and animals there have burrowed in for the winter. Other fascinating subjects such as birthstones, the zodiac, weather, and more are explored in each book to give a complete look at every month. Delightfully rendered illustrations enrich the experience of discovering the varied histories and the diversity of each month of the year. AUTHOR: Ellen B. Jackson, Pat DeWitt, Robin DeWitt
