Celebrate the vibrancy of life in winter in this s**weet poetic children's book.**

Though a forest may be blanketed in snow or a lake frozen over, families who enjoy the outdoors in winter know that wildlife is still teeming there. Happily bundled up to play in the energizing weather, join the family as they head out on a beautiful winter day to explore and discover nature.

The fallen log that is used to hide behind in a snowball fight is a shelter for tree frogs, caterpillars, ladybugs, and slugs. The drifts of fallen snow that families snowshoe across have winding tunnels made by meadow mice in search of seeds and bark. The towering trees families ski among shield birds from winter winds.

_When Winter Comes_ celebrates the joy of playing and exploring in the outdoors during the winter months. Part of the beautiful When Seasons Come series that includes _When Summer Comes, When Fall Comes,_ and _When Winter Comes_ board book.
