Winter may look frozen and still, but beneath the snow, life is busy surviving.
Winter Bees and Other Poems of the Cold explores how animals and plants endure the harshest season. Bees cluster for warmth, beavers shelter deep below the snow, snakes avoid freezing, and other creatures find clever ways to stay alive until spring returns.
Joyce Sidman pairs poems with science sidebars, giving readers both beauty and real information about nature in winter. The book captures cold, danger, patience, and resilience without losing its sense of wonder. For readers who love animal survival stories, seasonal books, and science told through poetry, this collection reveals the hidden drama of the cold.
