Winter wonderland

Each year, as days grow shorter and trees become bare, the world outside seems to slow and darken.

But for children, this time of year is magical. The frosty air crackles with play and laughter. There's a sense of excitement as snow and cold weather make for outdoor adventures that aren't possible any other time of year. This charming picture book, the latest in National Geographic's popular Picture the Seasons series, is a vibrant celebration of winter traditions.

Winter means family, as loved ones travel many miles to visit.

Holiday events bring a spark of warmth and togetherness that seems to happen only in winter.

Twinkling lights and colourful displays bring cheer and goodwill.

Glowing candles invite visitors to share a festive meal.

Frosty weather outside draws lacy patterns on the windowpanes. With this beautifully photographed book in the home or classroom library, children will return time and again to see, feel, and learn about the magic of winter.

An excellent choice for teachers wishing to celebrate the season, as well as for grandparents who seek a meaningful gift for their little ones.
