Once you start to notice, colors and reasons for gratitude are everywhere, and that changes everything! Celebrate the hues and comforts of a cozy winter day as a discontented girl at first notices only dull grays and browns in a snowy landscape but is coaxed by her friend to look more closely. Soon she finds orange berries, blue water, purple shadows, and more. Warm friendship and a fresh way of seeing things transform a snow-covered landscape from bleak to beautiful!

Shelf Awareness   “A good choice for storytimes on cold winter days that will encourage youngsters to see ‘so much more than gray.'”—
School Library Journal   “Illustrator Alea Marley’s colors pop off the page….’Boring’ and bleak become colorful when it is beauty you seek.”—
