Episode 26: Favorite Winter Picture Books, Old and New

Charity Hill and Amanda Knapp share the joy of winter-themed picture books both classic and new. They wonder why "cosy" goes so well with "cold"? They explore the Danish concept of hygge (HOO-gah) --comfort and coziness, reflection and rest.  Charity and Amanda notice that book-reading in winter becomes a particular pleasure.
