(3) PS Illustrated by Jana Christy. After Grandma sleeps over, a (mixed-race) family wakes on their farm to an unexpected snow day. Delightful eight-word, four-line stanzas evoke wintry images, sensations, and activities as Grandma takes the two siblings sledding and they get hot chocolate with Grandpa in town ("Cocoa warms. / Mittens puddle. / Day dawdles. / We cuddle"). Digitized mixed-media illustrations ably depict the children's exuberant play.

(3) PS Illustrated by Jana Christy. "When the wind blows... / Windows rattle. / Doors creeaaak. / Chimes sing. / We peek." A simple rhyming text and lively art tell this blustery-day story. A mother, baby, child, and grandmother enjoy flying a kite, walking on the beach, playing in the park, and finally snuggling up indoors. The mixed-media illustrations aptly capture the wild weather as the storm increases in intensity.
