Winter Sleep – A Hibernation Story Written by Sean Taylor & Alex Morss Illustrated by Cinyee Chin Educational sweet beautifully told story of how animals seen in Summer hibernate in winter. Hibernation is explained by grandmother to grandchild in words easily understood. Many animals are mentioned in the story and this is added to in further pages once the story ends. There is also information related to how hibernating animals can be helped in various ways by humans who do not hibernate. I believe this would be a good book to read to young children as it would educate and open up dialogue between adult and child. Thank you to Net Galley and Quarto Publishing Group for the ARC – This is my honest review. 5 Stars geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

In this beautiful book, a grandmother guides her grandchild to a journey from autumn to winter and explains how nature gradually falls asleep to protect and preserve her kingdom. Together, they witness the animals of the woodlands, the creatures of the water realm and the ones that make their home under the earth getting ready to overcome winter and keep warm and safe until the coming of the spring.
Sadly, the times the children of my generation had witnessed are ending, in my opinion. The distinction between the seasons is becoming less and less visible in the ''big cities'' and there are people who claim that climate change is a myth. How can the world change for the better when the levels of stupidity are so high among those in power and their voters? I fear the answer is right there, in front of us...
Embellished with beautiful annotated illustrations explaining the hibernation process for the animals of each realm and ending on a very tender note, this book is a fascinating reading choice for the young ones and a wonderful addition to every child's bookcase.
''You see'', she told me, ''There's plenty of life tucked up, hiding in the cold.
I nodded. I could feel the cozy magic of the dark night outside.
And even though it wasn't very late,
I closed my eyes for a winter sleep.''
