Illustrated by
Greg Couch.
Winter is a young child who amuses himself by creating wintry weather while waiting for his busy parent, Father Time, to come and play. The eye-catching illustrations depict a luminous, ice-blue child and his star-studded father, with Time's clockwork gears spinning in the background. The rhyming text is uneven, but the father-son interactions are lively and well characterized.
