Captivating and irresistible These two little stories about the coming of winter are told in language simple enough for young children to understand and interesting enough to engage older children. The illustrations add just the right touch of charm. A welcome addition to stories about fall. "I love the vivid colors of the pictures as contrasted to the softness of the figures in them. It almost feels three-dimensional. I also love the way the simple story draws the young child into a world of fantasy that is actually based on pure, real, joyful emotion and sharing. My nine-year-old son enjoyed it, so it's not just for tiny children." Kelly Green, A Matter of Conscience "Two pages into this book, I became aware of how mesmerized I felt by the way Marty has woven her storytelling with her delightful photos. In a sea of over-the-top children's books where more is less, her book captivates children (and the big people reading with them) through a purity of intention and love. The result is a book that's an invitation to simplicity, to the heart, to relationship." Lu Hanessian, Let the Baby Drive
