Summertime Waltz by Nina Payne Illustrated by Gabi Swiatkowska

The Cover Image of this book does not do the illustrations inside (or the text) justice. This book is beautifully written and quite poetic. There are lots of abstract illustrations along with creatively placed text of the poem on each page. It is visually stimulating for all and appropriate for a wide range of children although older ones would be more apt to understand the poetry of the book.
