A sweet poetic children's book celebrating the vibrancy of life in winter. Though a forest may be blanketed in snow or a lake frozen over, families who enjoy the outdoors in winter, happily bundled up to play in the energizing weather, know that wildlife is still teeming there. When winter comes, and deep snow blankets the woods, and ice forms cold and smooth on the lakes, thick enough for us to skate on, some people think our woods are empty. But we know better. 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.

Winner of the 1997 Chinook Literary Prize, Sherry Simpson's debut collection of essays manifests an original and distinctive vision of Alaska and signals the arrival of an uncommonly accomplished new writer. Simpson is a true Alaskan who lives all of the adventures and traverses the wild places of her essays. Her subjects range from a sobering introduction to the ways of trapping in Killing Wolves to a meditation on the terror of disappearing into the Alaskan outback in The Book of Being Lost. With a clear-eyed, unsentimental appreciation of the great northern place, this writer expresses a commanding view of Alaska.

Reflected in the seasons of our lives, and our souls are the seasons of nature; winter, spring, summer and fall. Winter for many is the season that is most dreaded because of the harshness that is associated with it. It is a season of contemplation, and one that is not so welcoming. Synonymous to the word winter is biting, bleak, crisp, brisk, cold, bare, chilling, among others - hence you can understand why. Even with the challenges that winter presents, there are many positive aspects of winter both naturally and spiritually. In the natural, it allows the soil and plants to reset themselves, thus yielding a greater harvest, and in the spiritual it also strengthens us as our roots get deeper in our purpose. Through her personal stories and life’s lessons, Sandra shares how her faith strengthened her resolve during her winter seasons in several areas of her life. Seasons when the cascade of snowflakes blanketed her dreams, leaving a landscape of bare trees and brown grass. She leaves the readers optimistic that the winter season, which represents life’s challenges, does not define them and that the season was not ordained to kill them. In fact, it is to strengthen them for their next harvest. In sharing her fleece that kept her warm during some of the most trying periods of her life, it is her hope that it will bring warmth to someone who might be experiencing their winter.
