Highlights about This Season's book
Winter in the Forest
A Seasons in the Forest Book
Field Guides for Little Naturalists
Winter in the Forest is one of four seasonal picture books about the deciduous forest of North America. In each of these beautifully illustrated books for our youngest readers, complex concepts are presented in simple, lyrical and age appropriate language. Winter depicts the cold stillness of this long dark time and adaptations that animals must make to survive. Those animals that remain active are realistically portrayed as determined and alert, sometimes even playful in the cold and dark. Dormancy is the other option, the biological equivalent of patience. The three primary themes are cold, darkness and sleep.
At the end of the narrative, readers are encouraged to look for and recognize animal tracks in the snow and compare them with their own bootprints.
The ink paintings of the animals are lively and sometimes humorous but always realistic - think field guides for 2 to 6-year-olds. In these books, children will learn the names and habits of forest animals and plants so that they can recognize them in natural settings.
The activities in the back engage children’s innate curiosity and connection to the living world so that they can more fully feel a part of it.
We publish in hardcover, paperback and soon to come ebook with audio!

News Flash!!
Bill and Christine at the State House in Boston where I and other grantees were honored as “creative individuals” - me for the children’s books about the New England forest and my work with children in MA public parks and venues, and my other fellow grantees who paint, write, play music, dance, create theater, create movies and video, create fiber art, and so much more. Thank you to Mass Cultural Council for supporting those who add so much to the society and culture of our state!! And thank you for affirming me for the work of my “third age.” Visit them at https://lnkd.in/dH6bwM_Q
