The nights are getting longer, and the days are getting colder.
Can you feel it? Winter is here!
Celebrate the season with books to keep you busy on stay-at-home days.
Hot cocoa, anyone? How about a pinecone bird feeder? A Winter Treasury of Recipes, Crafts, and Wisdom is full of cold weather crafts and recipes that are sure to warm your days. For more wintery activities, be sure to check out The Wheel of the Year. Chicago author Fiona Cook celebrates each season with nature-based crafts, games and folklore from a variety of (mostly European) traditions.
If cozying up with a good story is more your speed, you can read your way around myths and legends of the Northern Hemisphere with A World Full of Winter Stories. Travel to fairytale-inspired winter climates when you read The Girl Who Speaks Bear or join in on the snowball fight of the century with Greg Heffley and his friends (and enemies) with The Meltdown.
And for the scientists and explorers, journey to the Arctic with An Arctic Story. Drill down deep into climate science with Frozen in Time. Or voyage to the mysterious South Pole (where it's summer right now) when you read My Antarctica.
What's your favorite way to celebrate a snowy day?
