A review by gillygab
Grandmother Winter by Beth Krommes, Phyllis Root

5.0

I grabbed this book from the library because I was instantly drawn to the illustration on the cover. Much to my delight, the entire book is just as beautiful. Root's story is a wonderful retelling of a folktale about how winter comes each year. Grandmother Winter makes a quilt from fallen goose feathers. When she shakes the quilt, the feathers turn to snow, covering the world in a layer of white. Root's prose is as lovely as the illustrations by Beth Krommes. I plan to read this at least a few more times before we have to return it to the library.
