Yesterday we read Will Hillenbrand’s Spring Is Here. It was a nice day, and 
the kids were playing outside when I arrived, so we had storytime on the lawn.
On one page Mole sticks his nose out the window and sniffs to check if Spring has arrived. I asked the kids what they thought spring smelled like.
“To me, it smells like grass,” I said, as the distinct smell of fresh mown grass was in the air.
One young man contributed this: “It smells like a good day.”
I think he’s right. Spring smells like a good day.
