The spring equinox is coming!

The Spring Equinox Spring begins this year on March 20. This is the day when day and night have equal hours all over the world.

In the northern hemisphere, the earth is tilted away from the sun during fall and winter. Then gradually the days grow longer until they are equal. This day is called the spring equinox in the northern hemisphere.

The book, A New Beginning: Celebrating the Spring Equinox, by Wendy Pfeffer, has a great explanation of the beginning of spring.  It also talks about many ways people all over the world have celebrated spring over the years.

Jefferson County Public Library also has lots of fun picture books about spring. Fletcher and the Springtime Blossoms, by Julia Rawlinson, is a favorite with young readers. Fletcher the fox is surprised by what he sees one spring morning and rushes to tell his friends of his discovery.

As spring arrives at your house, have you seen any new surprises?
