About This Book:
New York Times bestselling author-illustrator Eliza Wheeler welcomes readers to Acorn Village, where a community of adorable forest animals celebrates all the wonder that winter offers.
The busy animals of Acorn Village love to spend winter days doing all sorts of cozy activities together, whether they’re indoors reading, baking, and doing art projects or outside playing in the snow. And at the end of the day, the coziest activities await—sharing songs, hot drinks, and stories in front of a crackling fireplace, and then snuggling into bed and drifting off into dreamy sleep. Eliza Wheeler’s charming illustrations give her story the feel of a beloved classic and are full of rich, cozy details sure to ignite imaginations and make readers want to visit Acorn Village again and again.

Curl up under an afghan to read this one!
It was also fun to spend some time outside in the winter sun; the illustrations use light very well, and the after dinner and bedtime scenes seem especially atmospheric with the glow of the fire place inside and the night sky outside.
It’s always tough to go from being outside in warm weather to preparing to be stuck insdide when the weather turns colder. Prepare young readers for this change in weather by celebrating A Cozy Winter’s Day and other books about the fun that winter can hold, like Stumpfova’s The First Snow, Melling’s Ruffles and the Cold, Cold Snow, Gore’s Danny’s First Snow, or Fergus’ Zander Stays. For extra bonus points, read the book while having a steaming cup of hot cocoa!
