So Much Snow

Schroeder, Kristen. So Much Snow. New York : Random House Studio, 2022.
Snow falls and falls, turning everything white. The next week, the temperature warms, the snow starts melting, and streams start flowing. Spring is coming!. But then….Could that be snow again? This delightful picture book, softly illustrated by Sarah Jacoby, depicts forest animals – foxes, rabbits, deer, and mice – adapting as the weather changes over the course of two weeks in late winter. An excellent story to read to young children learning the days of the week.

After the Snowfall

Lo, Richard. After the Snowfall. Guilford, Connecticut: Muddy Boots, 2021.
A fox, eyes and ears alert, quietly walks through a snowy forest. He passes the squirrels and mice, the ducks and river otters, a moose, the rabbits, and the crows, before returning to his family waiting in their den. An absolutely gorgeous picture book, beautifully designed with only a few words – in a gracefully simple font – on each page. Most highly recommended for young readers and artists of all ages.
