Booktalk: When snow begins to blanket the trees, naptime is here for the animals of the forest—everyone, it seems, except for Badger!

Even the nighthawk is sound asleep. Badger draws, knits, and reads for hours, but he doesn’t want to spend all this time alone. Can he find anyone to join his winter fun?

Snippet:
The snow begins
to blanket the forest
in silence.
