Children's Poetry Books About Winter

In her children’s poetry book Winter Lights Anna Grossnickle Hines celebrates the beauty of winter lights during the season of short days and long dark nights. If you’re looking for a children's book the whole family will enjoy, I recommend Winter Lights: A Season in Poems & Quilts. The poems stress the holiday lights of Santa Lucia, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and the Chinese New Year, as well as other winter lights. Hines has created a beautiful miniature quilt to accompany each poem. At the end of the book, there are several pages, illustrated with color photographs, about the how Hines created the quilts. For additional information about the book, see my review of Winter Lights. Compare prices. (Greenwillow Books, An Imprint of HarperCollins, 2005. ISBN: 0060008172)
