Snowy Stories for Sunny Days

Summer is for all kinds of lovely stuff — swimming, sidewalk chalking, reading, sipping on lemonade and catching fireflies. Come August, there are some of us who are wacky enough to miss the quiet beauty of winter, like when the first snow falls and gently blankets the world in crystallized beauty.  These super-hot summer days have made snowy storytime picks especially popular as prize books for kids’ summer reading.  For many friends, the best way to take a bit of a break from the scorching weather is with a chilly story or two. Cool off with some wintry favorites from your library, sure to melt your heart and warm your soul.
