Now I See Winter

By Mac Barnett & Jon Klassen. Published by Walker Books. 

Board book, 24 pages, Colour, 2026. 

From multi-award winning, New York Times bestselling duo Mac Barnett and Jon Klassen, Now I See Winter is one in a unique quartet of board books that playfully shows the changing seasons through a child’s eyes.

The house. The tree. The garden. Me.

Sparse and rhythmic text invites readers to explore a farm setting through different seasons, gently introducing everyday words. Envisioned as a set that also can be read as standalone stories, each of the four books in this series has identical text but a different visual treatment to show the time of year. In winter, the tree is bare, snow falls from the sky, a sweet treat is a candy cane and the perfect hat is one that keeps you warm. Now I See Winter celebrates all the wonderful things about the season from a kid’s point of view – and why it’s their favourite time of year.
