Seasons with Dad

By Andrew Abel  |  Illustrated by Graeme Holding  |  Ages 5–12

A heartwarming picture book celebrating family bonding and nature across the seasons. Lyrical verses and vibrant illustrations depict spring wildflowers, summer steam trains, autumn leaves, and winter sledging — inspired by real locations in Northwest England and North Wales. The book that means the most to me personally.
