The coming of winter plays an important role in
the cycle of nature. This delightfully illustrated
verse story tells what happens one year when
Winter will not wake. All the woodland creatures
try to tell Winter their work is done. They
scold and mock and urge, but Winter will not
wake, until, at last, the round red ladybug in her
small, soft voice whispers something gently in
his ear—and mighty Winter wakes! (Ages 5-7)
Linda Kroll has been a storyteller, an elementary
school tutor, a high school English and drama teacher,
and a college literature instructor.

This radiant picture book was written for Julianna Margulies—the film
actor and star of the hit television series “The Good Wife”—when she
was six years old. Her father, Paul
Margulies, captures the pure
openness of a child’s imagination.
His reflections on what
Julianna would see remind us,
young and old, that life’s riches
can come to us through our loving
attention to the simple and
“ordinary.” (Ages 5-7)
