Winter bees and other poems of the cold

Come to the bitter cold that blows through these poems! Feel the warmth of life that breathes into the beaver burrowing deep beneath the snow. Discover the safe places where creatures survive, and how they stay alive in the wintertime-until roots poke from puddles of slush and broken ice to welcome the sun! Then watch as spring melts the frost from this outstanding collection of poems paired with stunning linoleum prints that celebrate nature, along with her beauty and power.

Twelve poems draw readers through the first whiff of winter sending tundra swans migrating to warmer climates to the humble, unlikely first observers of spring's arrival. Sidebars include interesting facts about winter's effect on nature.
