It is a cold
September day.
Fall is still here 
but ice is in the air.
I feel it.
Winter is coming.

A girl with her notebook in the woods, sketching. She is silent and carefully watches as the world around her reveals its secrets—a red fox, rabbits, deer.

It takes time and patience to see the changes as, slowly but surely, winter comes.

Tony Johnston's subtle text and Jim LaMarche's stunning paintings are a celebration of beauty, silence, and wonder of the season.
