Soft snow drifting down from the sky, breath visible in the cold air, lights glowing beyond the window, footsteps on a snowy street, and the fresh scent of tangerines filling the room.
This picture book captures lasting memories of winter through beautiful scenes that gently awaken the senses of the season.
After finishing work, a mother rides her bicycle home with food and a gift for her child. A father, left alone at the office for overtime, takes the bus home. A child plays joyfully with snow at the playground before returning home. In a single image of three pairs of snow-covered shoes, the artist quietly reveals a family coming together again after their separate days.
The artist discovers moments of seasonal beauty in everyday life and expresses the many faces of winter light: light melting into snow, light trembling through a passing window, light spilling onto the streets, and light softly embracing the home. By contrasting the dazzling lights of the city with the gentle glow inside the house, the book portrays a family making their way back to where they belong.
A home where bodies and minds, tightened by the cold, can finally rest.
Within this warm space, as the family shares stories of their day, the light of winter quietly brings the day to a close.
