Winter Is The Warmest Season

Did you know that winter is the warmest season? The young narrator of this delightful picture book explains why. Written and beautifully illustrated on watercolor paper, by Lauren Stringer, the simple, yet fantastically warm, text shows why you just might have to dream about summer to cool off from all the wonderful warmth that winter creates. So, grab a hot cup of chocolate, snuggle up by a burning fire, put on your pajamas with big warm feet and enjoy!

Most people think summer is the warmest season. This story, however, is brimming with evidence to the contrary--from roaring fires to grilled cheese sandwiches to toasty flannel pajamas. A unique twist on the traditional wintertime picture book, the beautiful visual narrative follows a boy and his family though a day of hot breakfasts, steaming afternoon cocoa, and a festive candlelit party before bed.
    

With its inviting scenes, poetic text, and gorgeous illustrations, Winter Is the Warmest Season celebrates all the wonderful things that make winter the coziest time of the year.

It's time to get cozy!
