About This Book
Reach for this book when the first frost hits or the first snowflake falls and your child begins to notice the world changing outside their window. It serves as a soothing introduction to the concept of time and seasonality for very young children who are just beginning to categorize their environment. Through gentle, atmospheric illustrations and accessible text, the book transforms the cold weather into a world of wonder rather than something to be feared. Originally part of a classic Spanish series on the seasons, the book focuses on the sensory experience of winter: the crunch of snow, the warmth of heavy coats, and the joy of seasonal play. It is an ideal choice for parents looking to build basic vocabulary while nurturing a sense of gratitude for nature's cycles. The soft, artistic style encourages quiet observation and can help ease a toddler's transition into the shorter days and indoor activities of the winter months.
