In light of the winter solstice on December 21 I thought it would be fun to show a video that has a winter theme. I also did this as the kids will be out of school for the next three weeks. You will find a link to the video below.
We do have a good assortment of winter themed book in our collection. Below you will find a few.

Winter According to Humphrey by Betty Birney F Bir
The holidays are coming, and Humphrey is unsqueakably excited. He loves to hear about all the different ways his friends in Room 26 celebrate and to watch them make costumes and learn songs for the Winter Wonderland program. (He even squeaks along!) But with so much to do, will the holidays go according to plan? Do-It-Now-Daniel is having trouble practicing. Helpful-Holly can't stop worrying about making presents for her friends, and Humphrey still has to find a gift for Og. Good thing Humphrey is one smart hamster who can help them all fill the season with JOY-JOY-JOY!
Diary of a Wimpy Kid The Meltdown by Jeff Kinney F Kin
When snow shuts down Greg Heffley’s middle school, his neighborhood transforms into a wintry battlefield. Rival groups fight over territory, build massive snow forts, and stage epic snowball fights. And in the crosshairs are Greg and his trusty best friend, Rowley Jefferson.
It’s a fight for survival as Greg and Rowley navigate alliances, betrayals, and warring gangs in a neighborhood meltdown. When the snow clears, will Greg and Rowley emerge as heroes? Or will they even survive to see another day?
Of course all of these books are available to be put on hold through Destiny Discover.
