The story, When Spring Comes by Kevin Hikes, illustrated by Laura Dronzek, is my daughter’s favorite book year-round. It's the perfect story to explore the transition from Winter to Spring. When reading this story to children, they become overjoyed to see the nature and animals related to springtime. They love to pretend and act out the meaning of the story.

About our Literacy Integrations
We love to connect literacy and movement. Children can develop reading skills by combining storytime and yoga while gaining the physical and social-emotional benefits of yoga and mindfulness. Children can experience a new and fun way to learn while moving with a book and yoga mat.

Our lesson plans include yoga sequences that can be infused while you are reading the story out loud. Also included are extension activities, such as coloring pages, breathing exercises, mindfulness activities, and crafts to get creative. We hope that our Literacy Integrations inspire your little ones to love reading and moving!

Make reading fun with yoga!
Use this lesson plan while reading When Spring Comes. This is the perfect way to integrate physical activity and mindfulness into storytime. Each page can be brought to life with our yoga sequence and our beautifully-illustrated yoga cards teach children how to do each yoga pose.

When Spring Comes is filled with imagery, alliteration, and repetition. Through this book, we can teach children these valuable literary devices through facilitated discussions, group activities, and extension exercises included in this lesson plan. Also included are coloring pages, crafts, breathing exercises, mindfulness activities, and more!
