Over the holidays, I was in the very cold and snowy state of Minnesota visiting my family. One day, I was looking out the window debating on whether I should risk frostbite to enjoy the beautiful, sunny day and discovered that my old childhood friend, Jack Frost, had visited us. As a child, I loved to wake up and rush to the window to see if any icy artwork had been left for us overnight.
While examining my discovery, I realized that I had not been visited by Jack Frost in the 2 years that I have lived in the warm (except for this week) climate of North Carolina. So, I did some digging and found a beautiful book that will help you and your child see the beauty of Jack Frost.
Here Comes Jack Frost - Written and Illustrated by Kazuno Kohara
This short, easy read is wonderfully illustrated with crisp, white drawings on a beautiful blue background. The main character is a lonely boy who is looking for some winter fun when he comes across an unusual friend that teaches him about the enchantments of winter.
So, if one good thing comes out of the bitter cold weather this week - maybe Jack Frost will visit!
