Snow and ice make everything nice. February may bring cold weather for many, but this edition of CRICKET Magazine will warm up your senses with poems, stories, tales, and illustrations full of all the joys that come with the cold.

 

Starting with an inspiring story and an encouraging poem about ice-skating, CRICKET Magazine explores the best parts of winter. And if you and your kids need to warm up, there’s an amazing article about a seamstress who sews spring into each of her dresses, followed by a simply elegant poem about the season. Then explore the world around you with tales from times before and as far away as China.
