Henry David Thoreau's life and its historical context shine in this illustrated biography. (Miller Library Staff)
"I Begin with Spring weaves natural history around Thoreau's life and times in a richly illustrated field notebook format that can be opened anywhere and invites browsing on every page. Beginning each season with quotes from Thoreau's schoolboy essay about the changing seasons, Early Bloomer follows him through the fields and woods of Concord, the joys and challenges of growing up, his experiment with simple living on Walden Pond, and his participation in the abolition movement, self-reliance, science, and literature."--
A marvelous life survey of a perennially relevant historical figure. Formatted like a nature notebook, this exploration of seasonal changes in Thoreau's day is also a visual story of his life and times and a gentle introduction to climate change.--Kirkus review.
Recommended for primary school (age 6-12) and up and for parents and teachers.
