I find that Caduto and Bruchac do an amazing job of filtering traditional folktales for a more modern sensibility, but there is one tale in this book that is a bit gory for my sensitive kiddo. There are stories, activities and tons of background information. I adore the whole Keeper series, this one in particular. Keepers of the Night: Native American Stories and Nocturnal Activities for Children by Michael J. The end of the story is about connecting with family and culture, A great read. One of the only kids books I’ve ever found that addresses the sound dampening qualities of snow, this also serves as a “listening walk” narrative. This is a phenomenal adult/ high school level book with more information than you ever dreamed of about the winter woods. Winter World: The Ingenuity of Animal Survival by Bernd Heinrich This one focuses on winter plants and animals. I love Joyce Sidman’s books of poetry, the poems are lovely and accessible for kids, the illustrations are beautiful and there is non-fiction information about all of the animals and plants described. Winter Bees & Other Poems of the Cold by Joyce Sidman
Great for Hibernation Celebration too!Ī lesser known book (you might only be able to find it used) but a really, really beautiful winter folktale. Great for Solstice and Hibernation Celebration too. Winter Sleep: A Hibernation Story by Sean TaylorĪnother beautifully illustrated hibernation book packed with non-fiction info. One of my favorite winter books, a story and lots of non-fiction information at the end about the subnivean zone (under the show) Great for Hibernation Celebration too! Not a lot of specific information, but a good introduction, especially for younger friends to hidden winter animal life.Ī great level up from When Winter Comes, children discover signs of various animals in the snow and try to guess how they were made. Very cute basic introduction to what different animals do in the winter to survive.
