Winter Is Coming

Each day, from September through November, a girl sits quietly in the woods with her sketchbook, observing forest animals as they search for food in preparation for winter. From a fox sniffing the last apple to a flock of wild turkeys finding nothing, the book captures the serene and beautiful moments of nature. The story, as seen through the watchful eyes of a young girl in her tree house, offers a vivid sense of the changing seasons and the stillness that comes with it. Renowned author Tony Johnston and illustrator Jim La Marche provide a gentle, lyrical celebration of the natural world, inviting readers to observe and appreciate the subtle transformations as winter approaches. The book is highly praised for its meditative language and the sensitive portrayal of a young naturalist comfortably spending hours alone in nature.
