Julia has a special delivery to make … to her friend in the winter forest.

come out to play during the cold season. When she discovers that animals have trouble

finding food in the snow, she sets out on a journey to bring a present to her book-loving

friend Bertrand the bear. But pulling her heavy sled through snowy woods proves

impossible alone.

Could little heart-shaped tracks be a sign that help―and maybe a new friend―are near?

With sparklingly vivid illustrations that capture the magic of exploring a winter wonderlandthis cozy, warmhearted tribute to the frosty time of the year―and to the delights of

friendship and reading―will have kids eager to make snow angels of their own, as well

as to curl up afterwards with a book and a sweet treat.

The backmatter includes information on how animals survive when the weather turns icy,

along with a recipe for Bertrand’s winter specialty that the whole family can bake together.

My Review:

🌟🌟🌟🌟

Four Point Four Stars

Lovely story of Julia who reads in a book about animals during winters.

Julia decides to help Bertrand, the bear, who is her friend and who lives in the forest.

So, Julia packs some things in a bag and puts it in her sledge and goes to the forest.

Dennis, the Deer, comes along and Dennis helps Julia. What happens after that?

Cute lovely fun adventure read for older kids with neat illustrations.

The book is also informative as it explains about hibernation and what happens to

animals during winters. Nice read.

Thank you for the ARC Netgalley.

Possum’s strong tail would help Little Rabbit swing from the tallest tree. Bat’s wings would help Little Rabbit soar through the sky. Beaver’s sharp teeth and claws would help Little Rabbit build a ladder straight up to the moon.

With warmth and wisdom, she reminds her little one of the unique traits that make him an essential part of the forest family. Then she gently sends him on his own magical journey to the moon by encouraging him to clos...
