"It’s a counting book. It’s a winter animal book. It’s a just plain beautiful book! . . . The prettiest nondenominational winter book seen in ages." — Kirkus Reviews (STARRED REVIEW) An atmospheric tribute to the beauty of winter and its creatures. u200bOne red fox walks across the white snow—quietly stalking winter. Two ravens croak and gurgle—raucously talking winter. Three snowshoe hares hop on big paws—silently tracking winter. Four red squirrels feast at their midden full of cones—hungrily cracking winter. Wherever you look, another creature is making its mark on the snow-covered season.

Poetic lines and stunning scratchboard art create the perfect read for chilly days—whether winter is just beginning or just starting to melt into spring.

Carlstrom expertly portrays the sense of wonder new parents feel and reveals the many ways a family grows and changes when a child arrives. Inspired by Psalm 139, this lyrical book celebrates the mystery of how each child is a unique and important part of God''s plan.
