Peter and Polly in Winter

"Peter and Polly in Winter" by Rose Lucia is an early 20th-century children's book that captures the wonder of winter through the eyes of two young siblings. Peter and his older sister, Polly, live in a lovely country home and eagerly await the arrival of winter, with Peter particularly excited for the "white butterflies" (snowflakes). Guided by the Story Lady, Peter looks forward to winter adventures like watching the birds fly south and experiencing the first snowfall. As winter unfolds, the story emphasizes the fun of activities like sledding and building snowmen, highlighting the importance of family, kindness to animals, and the beauty found in nature.
