This book contains four stories by Gilles Tibo. From spring through to winter, we follow the adventures of Simon, a boy with a fertile imagination. He tries to help the flowers grow by attaching balloons to the emerging shoots. In summer, he wants to keep the sun in a box. In the fall, he races against the clouds and ensuing winter, and tries to count the number of snowflakes it takes to build a snowman.

The delightful illustrations convey the story at least as much as the brief texts, leading young readers into a garden of pleasure.
