Coauthored and illustrated by sisters who grew up in Vermont, this book shows animals and explores lore found in their home state. A delightful blend of prose, folklore and non-fiction text! Woolly bear, woolly bear crawling in the grass. Tell me. Tell me. How will winter pass? Short one? Long one? Something in between? Can you tell me what your colors mean?
