This week on the Butler Bookshelf, we’re looking forward to a new, winter picture book by Saumiya Balasubramaniam and illustrated by Eva Campbell. In Two Drops of Brown in a Cloud of White, a little girl and her mother walk home after school. It is snowy, and the little girl misses the colors of other seasons. What follows is a conversation between mother and child, exploring and appreciating all that winter has to offer. For more great reads, check out the list below!
