Julia has a special delivery to make … to her friend in the winter forest.

Julia loves winter, except for one thing: she misses her usual forest friends, who can’t come out to play during the cold season. When she discovers that animals have trouble finding food in the snow, she sets out on a journey to bring a present to her book-loving friend Bertrand the bear. But pulling her heavy sled through snowy woods proves impossible alone. Could little heart-shaped tracks be a sign that help—and maybe a new friend—are near?

With sparklingly vivid illustrations that capture the magic of exploring a winter wonderland, this cozy, warmhearted tribute to the frosty time of the year—and to the delights of friendship and reading—will have kids eager to make snow angels of their own, as well as to curl up afterwards with a book and a sweet treat.

The backmatter includes information on how animals survive when the weather turns icy, along with a recipe for Bertrand’s winter specialty that the whole family can bake together.

To savor more adventures with Julia and Bertrand, readers can check out the previous books in this series: How to Catch a Bear Who Loves to Read and A Starlit Trip to the Library.
