“If Winter Comes, Tell It I’m Not Here” by Simona Ciraolo. 

As you walk along the story trail at Dr. Robert L. Nehls Memorial Nature Preserve, follow the story of a child smitten by the season’s charms in this ode to living in the moment, despite his pesky big sister’s dire predictions about winter. A celebration of the changing of the seasons, this inviting story shows how much fun can be found around every sunny—or snowy—corner.

Don’t let the cold keep you in! Winter is so special when it’s experienced outside. Go on a stroll, enjoy a story and treat yourself to warm cup of hot chocolate to warm you up!
