The Snow Knows

Age range 3 to 7

The snow knows where the rabbit goes. It knows the hushshush of the owl’s wing.

In this deceptively simple children’s picture book, a pair of award-winning storytellers share the joys of winter.

A lyrical prose poem, The Snow Knows introduces readers of all ages to animals both domestic (a tabby cat by the wood stove) and wild (a slinking lynx; a choir of coyotes), celebrating wilderness and outdoor play.

With whimsical hide-and-seek illustrations, readers will love following footprints and catching a glimpse of an owl’s wing or pheasant’s feathers, suggesting what appears on the following page.

A beautiful book, destined to be a perennial winter favourite, and read aloud by a crackling fire.
