What is Winter Sleep about?

When a child visits Granny Sylvie in winter, the familiar glade looks cold, quiet and empty. But beneath the snow and inside trees, ponds and underground burrows, animals are resting and waiting for spring. Granny explains how mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, birds and minibeasts survive the cold months. Through a gentle story and beautifully illustrated information pages, young readers discover the hidden life of winter and learn how people can help animals stay safe.
