It's Winter!
From the Series Celebrate the Seasons
It’s Winter! is a captivating introduction to the winter season, designed to delight young readers with simple, engaging text and bold, beautiful paper-sculpture artwork. Each spread showcases the quiet magic of winter as animals adapt to the cold, plants rest beneath snow and frost, and the world transforms with cool colors, chilly weather, and cozy moments.
Through clear, age-appropriate language and striking dimensional illustrations, children are introduced to essential winter concepts such as seasonal animal behavior, changes in plant life, winter clothing, and the feelings often associated with shorter days and colder temperatures. The tactile, sculptural art style encourages careful observation and supports early visual literacy.
In addition to exploring seasonal themes, It’s Winter! includes hands-on nature activities inspired by the winter season, inviting children to observe their environment, explore natural changes, and engage in simple, developmentally appropriate outdoor and indoor activities. These experiences help build curiosity, sensory awareness, and an early understanding of the natural world.
Ideal for toddlers and preschoolers, as well as classroom and storytime settings, It’s Winter! supports early vocabulary development, seasonal awareness, and a growing appreciation for nature—making it a timeless and educational addition to any child’s bookshelf.
