Winter Sleep is a cosy picture book, ideal for wintry bedtime stories. We follow a child and his grandma through a winter landscape to explore how the Earth goes to sleep.
Children can spot the sleeping animals as the story unfolds, and then learn about their hibernation habits from the information pages at the end.
Co-authors Sean Taylor (picture book author) and Alex Morss (ecologist) offer a gentle introduction to the concept of hibernation. Winningly illustrated by Cinyee Chiu.
Busy Spring and Wild Summer – two more books in the same series – follow, also published by Quarto.
