December
Find "September" in A Child's Calendar, a collection of twelve of John Updike's poems that describes a child's journey through the seasons from January through December (c. 1965). Caldecott award winning artist Trina Schart Hyman illustrated the collection (c. 1999).
Love the line: There is a mood of sweet suspense.
