KIDS & TEENS - MONTHLY READER
February 2019

For the love of snow days, books... and survival?
|
"I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, 'Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.'"
And so the story goes... after an abundance of days of winter joy - whether you played out in the snow or bundled up with the perfect book by the fire - it's time for us all to return to school and share our stories of how we each survived #Snowmageddon 2019.
Thank goodness the snow came last weekend! Eagle Harbor Book Co. has some thrilling events planned for teens this Sunday and we want everyone to attend - warm and safe! ...and to (literally) survive another day.
