Snow has finally arrived

Well, after many long weeks without snow, it has finally started to fall in northeast Ohio. Just a sprinkle of the white stuff, but enough to make me wish for more. Especially since it is now officially December. To celebrate I'd like to include a shout out for one of my favorite new seasonal books Snow Sounds: an onomatopoeic story by David A. Johnson.

Snow Sounds is a quiet little book, ironically quiet since it has the word sounds in the title. However, the artwork and the feeling of the book are reminiscent of quiet nights by the fireplace watching snow falling all around outside. Snow blankets everything with white and the air is crisp and cool, but soothing. I liked this book - and think you should check it out if you haven't done so already.
