Simple text and photos explain a month as a unit of time and the months in a year.

A short verse for each month of the year encourages the reader to find objects hidden in the pictures that depict that month's activities, such as ear muffs and pine trees in January, or scooters and a picnic bench in June.

A young child shares why each month is special, from the winter chill in January and the spring breeze in March to the heat in July and colored leaves in September.
