Joli Hannah, a children’s book author and publisher, started working with international publishers in 2000 to create children’s books, which over time she began writing herself.

<p>"Part of the "Read and Spot" series, The Four Seasons is a delightful picturebook to read aloud and share with little ones ages 3 and up. Cut-out circular windows in the pages and a simple search-and-find game enhance this simple yet charming educational book about spring, summer, fall, and winter through the eyes of the girl Talia and her pet cat and dog. The Four Seasons does not have any pop-up components or flaps, and therefore is durable enough to be a welcome addition to children's public library collections. Highly recommended." <em><strong>—Midwest Book Review-Children's Bookwatch</strong></em></p>
<p>"This was another enjoyable interactive read, my children loved spotting their way through The Four Seasons. I like the added easy explanation of why we have seasons. It makes for a great introduction to earth sciences and climate. The illustrations are fantastic. I love how the cut outs change the appearance/activity of what it highlights for that spread; ie.: a vase of yellow flowers on one page is a garden with the same flowers. The items to spot are the perfect blend of ease and challenge, giving slightly older kids the opportunity to interact with the story while still being perfect for young children as well." <em><strong>—Cherokee Crum, YA Books Central</strong></em></p>
<p>"If your kids don't like to read non-fiction books to learn, this is one where they won't know they are learning! Author, Joli Hannah and Illustrator, Amanda Gulliver did a fabulous job with this book. I will be reading this to my children often!!" <em><strong>—Morgan Ludlow, NetGalley-Reviewer</strong></em></p>
<p>"This was a cute, engaging story for young readers. The seasons are described through simple, easy to understand descriptions. My son enjoyed the interactive features. The illustrations are cute." <em><strong>—Carla W., NetGalley-Reviewer</strong></em></p>
<p>"I loved this children's book, which is about a little girl called Talia who, along with her pets, explore the different seasons and find out why they occur on the earth. The illustrations in the book are amazing and colourful and the characters are cute. I highly recommend this book, especially for children aged 3-6, although I think all children would love it!" <em><strong>—Catherine Craig, Bookseller</strong></em></p><p><br /></p>
