Reviews
"A poetic picture book that personifies the winter season by inviting readers to join Mother Winter on her walk. "If you are awake/ on the longest cold night, when the wind curls and frost holds time,/ you'll hear her bells and smell the first snow,/ when Mother Winter goes walking." This beautifully descriptive text brings all parts of a winter landscape to life, from frosty fields and frozen ponds, to animals and children at play, to the winter stars rising as "loving eyes above it all." Magical illustrations bring the story to life, and young audiences will enjoy the repetition of lines, and the cyclical nature of the journey, as they ride on Mother Winter's "long coattails." --NCTE
