The Snow Knows

Jennifer McGrath follows up Gadzooks the Christmas Goose with her picture book The Snow Knows.

Jennifer McGrath, Illustrated by Jose Bisaillon

In this deceptively simple children's picture book, a pair of awardwinning storytellers share the joys of winter. A lyrical prose poem, The Snow Knows introduces readers of all ages to animals both domestic (a tabby cat by the wood stove) and wild (a slinking lynx; a choir of coyotes), celebrating wilderness and outdoor play.

With whimsical hideandseek illustrations, readers will love following footprints and catching a glimpse of an owl's wing or pheasant's feathers, suggesting what appears on the following page. A beautiful book, destined to be a perennial winter favourite, and read aloud by a crackling fire. (From Nimbus Publishing)
