Winter is Here

Winter Is Here. Kevin Henkes. Illustrated by Laura Dronzek. 2018. 40 pages. [Source: Library]

First sentence: Winter is here. It's everywhere. It's falling from the sky and sitting on the houses and dripping from the roofs and sticking to the trees in clumps and curls.

Premise/plot: Kevin Henkes' newest book is a poetic description of the winter season.

Winter comes without a sound...
and it comes with many.
The wind howls in every language
and the windows rattle. 

My thoughts: I enjoyed this one. I liked the text very much. But I loved, loved, loved the illustrations.
