Winter Bees and Other Poems of the Cold by Joyce Sidman illustrated by Rick Allen*

What a beautifully illustrated book (print linoleum blocks/hand colored and then digitally scanned and layered)!!!
The poems describe various creatures plus  trees and plants and their survival in the winter. (plus a poem about snowflakes!).  I like how the poems progress from end of autumn until early spring.  A fact box accompanies each poem, explaining the science behind the subject manner.
A glossary is included at the end.
***Highly recommend.
This book I had to purchase!
