SNOW IS COMING

by Holly Atkinson

Illustrated by Julie Atkinson

Holly & Julie's newly published children's book.

Reverence for nature, the joy of the changing seasons, love of animals, and a celebration of family life---all these reflected in the story of the little family of Greenwood Farms as they prepare for the first snow.

Share one cold November day with Jake, Hannah, Mother, Father, and their border collie, Owain as they gather in the last of the harvest, and care for their beloved farm animals in the face of the coming storm. Snow is Coming reminds us that change is a part of life, but if we meet it with anticipation, joy, and courage, we need not fear.

“This world with all its living creatures is a miracle, a wonder so intense and achingly beautiful that it shatters us, ruins us, brings us to our knees. Yet, as it breaks our hearts it heals us, as it lays waste to our souls it saves us. It’s all there in the wisdom of the three-toed box turtle: Don’t get in a hurry. Enjoy the journey. Drink deeply of your life. Escape the darkness of your fears. Take time from your mountain-top dreams to contemplate the reality of the valley. Look for rivers in the desert. Believe there is a green world.” ~ From Drinking Shadows
