Winter in the Forest: A Seasons in the Forest Book

Winter in the Forest is the second in a series of seasonal picture books for pre-K and early elementary children. The book explores the natural world, specifically the deciduous forest of the American Northeast during winter. It highlights the cold stillness of winter and the adaptations that plants and animals make during this long dark time. The three primary themes are snow and cold, long dark nights, and dormancy. The language of the book is lyrical, and the images are realistic yet sometimes humorous, making it an engaging field guide for 3- to 8-year-olds. A tracking activity is included for young readers who venture into the snow, helping them learn the names and habits of forest animals and plants for real-life recognition. The book aims to engage children's innate curiosity and connection to the living world, teaching complex principles in simple, age-appropriate language. It is available in hardcover, paperback, and audio ebook formats.
