Maya Christina Gonzalez.
This collection of poems in Spanish and English celebrates not only winter but also the region of northern California where Alarcón lives. While the poems are clearly tied to a specific landscape, they also evoke the universal joys of the season. Gonzalez's illustrations capture the jubilant spirit of the bilingual poems, and children will enjoy hunting for the iguanas hidden throughout.
