In this cozy bedtime story, follow a child and his grandma through
a winter landscape to explore how the Earth goes to sleep for

about their hibernation habits from the information pages at the
end. Co-authors Sean Taylor (picture book author) and Alex Morss
(ecologist, journalist, and educator) offer a gentle introduction
to the concept of hibernation. In the frosty, quiet forest, the
snow blankets the ground and the trees have shed their leaves.
Where have all the animals gone? Are they asleep too? In each
cutaway scene, see what the child cannot - that underground below
his feet are dens with sleeping creatures, and within the hollow
trunks of trees, animals are nesting. After the story, annotated
illustrations explain the hibernation facts for each animal and
what they will do when they wake up for spring. Cozy up as you
expand your and your child's knowledge of the natural world.

friendship?
