The First Snow
by David Christiana
This tale of young Mother Nature is a captivating and charming look at the seasons. Mother Nature is a lovely little girl who is afraid of Winter and his friend the Wind. She stubbornly refuses to allow him to have his turn as a season. A wise old Polar Bear gives Winter advice on how to make friends with her and the conflict works out well in the end.
David Christiana has lovingly illustrated this story with beautifully rendered water colours and a unique subtlety that allows young readers to immerse themselves in the tale. The story is a wonderful starting point for young people learning about the unstoppable forces of nature and the way our world balances the seasons.
