Snow falls like a soft hush, wrapping trees in stillness, tucking hares and voles into shelter, and cloaking a sly fox in mystery. From the frozen stillness of a regal stag to the swooping cry of a spotted owl, poet Kirsten Hall invites readers to pause, listen, and feel the enchantment of the season. Award-winning artist Marc Martin's shimmering illustrations capture the magic of nature held in snow's gentle care. And when the snow disappears? The woods wait, longing for its return--until once more, the snow smiles and begins again. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePerfect for nature enthusiasts and children who yearn for snowy days, this loving ode to winter offers a glimpse into the beauty of stillness, the kindness of nature, and the timeless cycle of the seasons.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kirsten Hall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Random House Studio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.20h x 10.30w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593904312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAudience:\u003c\/b\u003e Ages 4-8\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/21\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2026 pg. 52\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKirsten Hall \u003c\/b\u003eis a former preschool and elementary school teacher, and the author of several picture books including \u003ci\u003eA Forest Song\u003c\/i\u003e, which received two starred reviews; \u003ci\u003eThe Honeybee\u003c\/i\u003e, which was praised as \"glorious\" by \u003ci\u003eThe Wall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e; and \u003ci\u003eThe Jacket\u003c\/i\u003e, a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003eNotable Book.
