About

Grandmother Winter is a picture book for children which describes the seasons in a poetic way.[1] The story is inspired by "Mother Holle" from German fairy tale stories.[2] Grandmother Winter enjoys spending time with her white geese and as they lose their soft feathers, she gathers them together.[2] She uses the feathers to fill a quilt that she makes and when she has finished sewing, snowflakes fill the sky.[1] As the snow falls, people and animals find warm spaces in their homes and nests.[3] Then Grandmother Winter goes to sleep under the quilt herself.[4]

Krommes uses hand-tinted scratchboard drawings to illustrate the book.[1] Grandmother Winter was her first time illustrating a picture book.[5]

Reviews

The Horn Book Magazine called Beth Krommes' work, "handsome stylized art".[4] School Library Journal wrote that the illustrations were "Impressive" and that the story's "poetic language and detailed art blend to create a whimsical delight."[6]
