Usher in the new year by visiting friends, waltz in the snow in February, welcome spring in March, see all the garden produce grow in April, enjoy the beauty of the world in May, listen to music in June, and in July enjoy the Tanabata Star Festival.

The book ends with dancing, singing, happiness, friendship, and the message to enjoy everything. Each illustration is filled with colorful detail and glows with warmth; longtime readers will recognize many old friends from past adventures, as well as discover new ones.
