Winter is the Warmest Season

Now that the cold north wind is blowing, it's time to get ready for winter and think about how we will stay warm. A perfect reading choice is Winter is the Warmest Season, written and illustrated by Lauren Stringer. This picture book provides a child's perspective on all the ways to stay warm during the winter including bundling up in warm clothes, eating grilled cheese sandwiches and sipping hot chocolate, and snuggling under a pile of warm blankets. The book was a finalist for the Minnesota Book Award in 2007. It would be an excellent resource for early childhood or primary teachers who are teaching a unit on seasons.
