Winter, Awake!
Description
The coming of winter plays an important role in the cycle of nature. In this delightfully illustrated story, young children can learn that 'for every thing there is a season'. Winter, Awake! tells the story of a year when Winter refuses to wake up, despite the efforts of the tired trees needing rest and their fallen leaves providing a blanket for sleeping seeds. All the woodland creatures try various methods to wake Winter, but it is not until the round red ladybird whispers gently in his ear that mighty Winter finally awakens.
