Count the wonders of the tundra from 1 to 12 in this stunning celebration of an Alaskan winter.
One red fox walks on snow--stalking winter. Two ravens croak and gurgle--talking winter. Three snowshoe hares hop--tracking winter. Wherever you look, another animal is making its mark on the coldest time of year.
Inspired by her years living in Alaska, Nancy White Carlstrom celebrates the tundra with dynamic poetry, counting winter's wonders from 1 to 12. Claudia McGehee's stunning scratchboard art was influenced by her own snowy surroundings and vibrantly brings the text to life. This sturdy board book edition of Counting Winter is adapted for the youngest reader and a perfect read aloud for chilly days, whether winter is just beginning or just starting to melt into spring.
Nancy White Carlstrom has written over sixty books for children, including Before You Were Born (Eerdmans), Mama, Will It Snow Tonight? (Boyds Mills Press), and the bestselling Jesse Bear series (Scholastic). Counting Winter was shaped by the nineteen years Nancy and her family called Alaska home. She currently lives in the Seattle area and enjoys seeing Alaskan wildlife--and her grandchildren--on trips back to the state. Visit her website at nancywhitecarlstrom.com.
Claudia McGehee is the illustrator and sometimes author of many picture books, including Begin with a Bee, Creekfinding (both University of Minnesota Press), and My Wilderness (Little Bigfoot). In starred reviews from Kirkus and School Library Journal, Claudia's scratchboard art has been praised as "meticulous" and "striking." Raised in the Pacific Northwest, Claudia now lives in Iowa City, Iowa. Visit her website at claudia-mcgehee.com or follow her on Instagram @claudia.mcgehee.
