Grandmother Winter

All through the spring, summer and fall, Grandmother Winter tends her white geese and gathers their feathers. Why? Because when winter comes, she will shake her feather quilt, bring snowflakes to the landscape and sending the animals to their winter homes to rest for a while. Written by Minnesota's Phyllis Root with scratchboard illustrations by Beth Krommes, this is a lovely story about the winter season. It was a finalist for the Minnesota Book Award in 2000.
