"Over the snow I glide. Into woods,
frosted fresh and white.
Over the snow, a flash of fur-a red squirrel
disappears down a crack.
'Where did he go?'
'Under the snow,' Dad says."
Another non-fiction, poetic, picture book recommend today! Over and Under the Snow by Kate Messner with art by Christopher Silas Neal is as crisp, poignant, and fresh as a field of new snow. Who is above and secretly below the winter layers?
Whether it be the size, layout, or father with child outdoors, there's a hearkening back to the beloved Owl Moon by Jane Yolen. This beautiful work will be equally loved.

It's a beautiful book that hopefully will start some questions by those younger children about animals.
