- A delightful seasonal story for young children
- Beautifully illustrated by popular Swiss artist Ruth Lieberherr
This delightfully illustrated book tells the story of the year Winter would not wake and teaches children about the coming of the seasons.
Description
The coming of winter plays an important role in the cycle of nature. In this delightfully illustrated story, young children can find that for ‘every thing there is a season’.
Winter, Awake! tells what happens one year when Winter will not wake.
The tired trees need to rest. Their fallen leaves have made a leafy blanket for the sleeping seeds. All the woodland creatures try to tell Winter their work is done.
They scold and mock and urge, but Winter will
not wake, until, at last, the round red ladybird
in her small, soft voice whispers something
gently in his ear-- and mighty Winter wakes!
