A tender, poetic celebration of winter's magic, this gorgeously illustrated picture book invites readers to step into a snowy forest and discover the quiet wonder, hidden life, and timeless beauty that snow brings to the natural world. "I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields..." Inspired by a line from Lewis Carroll, this book drifts gently into a forest blanketed in white. Snow falls like a soft hush, wrapping trees in stillness, tucking hares and voles into shelter, and cloaking a sly fox in mystery. From the frozen stillness of a regal stag to the swooping cry of a spotted owl, poet Kirsten Hall invites readers to pause, listen, and feel the enchantment of the season. Award-winning artist Marc Martin's shimmering illustrations capture the magic of nature held in snow's gentle care. And when the snow disappears? The woods wait, longing for its return--until once more, the snow smiles and begins again.
Perfect for nature enthusiasts and children who yearn for snowy days, this loving ode to winter offers a glimpse into the beauty of stillness, the kindness of nature, and the timeless cycle of the seasons.
