It is time for another books giveaway with Raincoast Books! I had the pleasure of reviewing two winter themed children books. Reading children books is still one of my favourite things to do, even if all my children are much older! Celeste enjoys them too. The winner of this giveaway will receive a copy of both of the books I have reviewed.
The Wish Tree is a story by Kyo Maclear with magical art by Chris Turnham. It is a beautiful story of kindness and helping others. Charles, the little boy in this story, is looking for a wish tree. His siblings don't believe he will be successful. On his quest, Charles meets several forest animals and helps each one, with Boggan his tobaggan. The end of the story is heart warming, a great tale for this holiday season and for all winter long.
Waiting for Snow, by Marsha Diane Arnold with drawings by Renata Liwska, is a fun story with adorable forest animals. Badger is tired of waiting for snow to fall. He tries to bring on snow by banging on pots and pans. His friends try to help him out with their own unique ideas, from throwing rocks up into the clouds to dancing a snow dance. This is a cute children's story about friendship and patience.
Disclosure: I received a copy of these two books for review from Raincoast Books. All opinions expressed are completely honest and my own, based on my personal experience. Your experience may differ.

ReplyDeleteWe love The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats in my family.
ReplyDeleteThose are amazing looking books! My favourite is Katy and the Big Snow, it was when I was young and I love reading it to Rhys.
ReplyDeleteI love the illustrations already!
ReplyDeleteOur favourite winter book is one called "Fireside Stories" that I got from Barefoot Books. It's so beautiful, and there's a story for all the different 'events' in winter - the first snowfall, the winter solstice, Christmas, etc.
ReplyDeleteI love winter books too; we just finished "A Stranger in the Woods", which I imagine you would enjoy as well.
ReplyDeleteWe love books too - We just finished A Stranger in the Snow again!
ReplyDeletethe only snow book I can think of is Robert munsch. I have to go!
