Why read it?

1 author picked Winter as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I was captivated by the gentle colors and repeating texts of this books.

Not so much a story as a description of forest animals summoned to share gifts to encourage the light to return on this longest night of the year. Even though the animals are outdoors in the snow it was clear they were warmed by being together and sharing.

Excellent bedtime book or to start discussion of generosity and sharing.

From Robin's list on for winter reading.
