Illustrated by
Leslie Evans.
After writing books celebrating the other seasons, Schnur completes the cycle with an alphabetical listing of winter events, recorded in brief blocks of text. Read vertically, each line's first letter spells out the seasonal word being described, such as flurry or holiday. The evocative poetry and colorful linoleum-cut illustrations capture both the chilly season and the warmth of experiencing it with family and friends.
