er walk one afternoon deep among the snowy woods and streams to their special sitting-spot. "Come on Dad, I will lead the way" begins their hike past the blueberry patch as the snow hums with big, white fluffy flakes. They hear soft echoing against the branches and see trees that have become laden with snowy shapes. Steadman's watercolors capture private moments between father and son among the profound beauty and stillness of the snow-covered, natural setting. Young listeners will enjoy the simple, gentle prose of this wintery adventure and spotting the bright red cardinal that the illustrator has hidden within each spread.
