If you're looking for a cozy, seasonal story to share with a child, let me recommend "Hush, Hush, Forest" by Mary Casanova with woodcuts by Nick Wroblewski. The words on the page are simple, but enhanced by the stunning illustrations. Taking the reader from fall into winter, this book is a delight blending nature, science, and art. ~Miss Sarah
