Program Description

Event Details

Listen and follow along as Ms. Helene, the Steampunk Youth Services Librarian at the Balboa Branch Library with the San Diego Public Library, shares another virtual online storytime reading about the changing of the seasons with "Winter Is Coming" - wonderfully written by Tony Johnston and stunningly illustrated by Jim LaMarche. Shared with permission by the publisher Henry Holt & Company, an imprint of Macmillan Publishers.

"Each day, from September through November, brings glimpses of forest animals seeking food in preparation for the onset of winter, from a fox sniffing the last apple on the ground to a flock of wild turkeys that finds nothing.  A girl with her notebook in the woods, sketching.  She is silent and carefully watches as she world around her reveals its secrets - a red fox, rabbits, deer.  It takes time and patience to see the changes as, slowly but surely, winter comes in this celebration of the beauty, silence, and wonder of the season."
