Your sage wisdom about this season is something I think about every morning while I get dressed! It’s never the season, always the clothes 😉 I don’t quite think this will ever be my season but I do have a lot of respect and appreciation for it!

I love your book choices, many of which are new to me. That mystery looks DELIGHTFUL and now I need to add it to my winter TBR.

The weather here is what keeps many people away, and the weather here is what keeps many of us here. When people wonder how those of us who live here during 6 months of cold, I always answer, "go outside everyday." Even if it's for 15 minutes, the snow, wind, and smells of winter will tell your brain to rest and give hope that more sun is on the way. That, and as always, a giant pile of books.

I still need to read Greenglass House!

Thank you for your recommendations. I recommend the Snow Bear by Miriam Moss - the relief textured images and the gentle repetitive narration bring instant calm to my 2- and 4-year olds.

I'm admittedly not a big fan of winter, but I've realized I have so many favorite picture books that are winter-themed. A Cozy Winter Day caught my eye immediately and I just added Greenglass House to our holds list.

A Cozy Winter Day looks like my dream day. Requests to the library submitted and thanks for the inspiration. I'm packing our ski clothes for the upcoming ski season and completely agree about dressing appropriately. Get it together, people!

Thank you for this beautiful list of so many great winter books, many I also love, and some have not read yet (putting BEFORE MORNING on my list). And thank you even MORE for including 'A COZY WINTER DAY'! I was surprised and delighted to see it here!
