This week, we are featuring some of our recent nonfiction books in our collection, including a nonfiction picture book fit for the snowy season called The Snow Man: A True Story. In this book, the author-illustrator and mother-son duo Jonah and Jeanette Winter tell the story of billy barr, who moved to a cabin in the Rocky Mountains when he was younger and started to measure the snowfall. Now roughly 50 years later, he continues to live alone in these mountains, and his data collection on snowfall, temperatures, and other observations has been donated to scientists and used to study climate change.

Check out more of our nonfiction collection below, and be sure to stop by the Book Sale this week—sale hours are 4 – 8 pm on Wednesday, Dec 6th and 10 am – 5 pm on Thursday, Dec 7 – Saturday, Dec 9th!
