Review by Horn Book Review

"If you are awake, / on the longest cold night, / when the wind curls and frost holds time, / you'll hear her bells and smell the first snow, / when Mother Winter goes walking." This lyrical, luminous winter solstice book exhorts readers to go outside and experience the season's natural wonders. The title character appears in the glowing, moonlit illustrations as a benevolent, larger-than-life figure whose blue cape trails behind while (in the text's refrain) she "goes walking" through a town. Swirls of light and color abound in spectacular cool-toned art whose effect is breathtaking. Elissa Gershowitz November/December 2022 p.13(c) Copyright 2022.
