A sweet STEM introduction to the concept of seasons and animal
adaptation
Lily, a young snowshoe hare, is surprised to notice the leaves changing
color in her forest home. She hears from the other animals that
"Winter's coming," but who-- or what--is Winter?
As Lily learns the ways in which her forest friends prepare for winter's
arrival, she becomes more and more worried about what she should be
doing. Finally, the brown bear points out that Lily has been preparing
without even knowing it: her fur is thickening and turning white to help
her camouflage in the changing weather.
Complemented by illustrations in a mix of collage, drawing, and digital
montage, this story introduces the many ways in which different animals
adapt to survive winter.
