Lina wakes up to a quiet morning filled with fresh, white snow. She puts on her warm clothes and walks through the snowy streets to visit her grandmother. As she walks, Lina starts to notice the sounds of snow, like the crunch of her boots and the soft swoosh of skis. With help from her Sitti (the Arabic word for grandmother), Lina learns that even when it’s quiet, the world is full of sounds!
In Ten Ways to Hear Snow, Cathy Camper and Kenard Pak show the love between family members and the importance of culture. They remind us to slow down and enjoy the quiet and beautiful things around us.
We hope you enjoy Lina’s gentle winter walk and find your own ways to hear snow.
