Winter Light

Aaron Becker turns a seasonal deficit into an asset in “Winter Light,” an elegant and understated board book for children ages 3-8 that invites an expansive understanding of luminosity. . . “Winter Light” has a soothing, meditative feel that imparts a sense of gratitude for the gleams and sparkles to be found even in days grown “short and dark.”
—Wall Street Journal

Winter Light is a board book, those sturdy, thick picture books the very little can even do some teething on without too much damage. Usually, they’re durable versions of beloved books. In this case, artist Aaron Becker uses the possibilities of a board book to incorporate cut-outs into a sweetly fanciful celebration of winter and the holidays it contains, complete with ornaments and glimpses of sunlight or moonlight or the light in your bedroom or wherever you might be while reading it. A nice reminder that beauty is all around.
