Reach for this book when the seasons are shifting and your child is feeling the bittersweet tug of saying goodbye to summer or autumn. It is a perfect choice for children who are sensitive to changes in their environment or who feel a sense of loss when the birds fly south and the flowers fade. Through a rhythmic, poetic conversation between a father and daughter, the story reframes the onset of winter as a natural, beautiful cycle rather than a cold ending. This gentle narrative uses personification to help children understand complex natural concepts, like why the geese leave and how the earth prepares for snow. Its lyrical quality makes it an ideal bedtime story to provide comfort and security. By emphasizing the warmth found indoors and the love of family, it helps young children (ages 3 to 7) process the transitions of nature with curiosity and peace instead of anxiety.
