Ten Ways to Hear Snow

Reach for this book when you want to help your child slow down, practice mindfulness, or connect with an aging family member. It is the perfect choice for a quiet morning when your child feels restless or when you want to discuss how we use all our senses, not just our eyes, to experience the world. Lina wakes up to a world transformed by snow and walks to her Sitti's (grandmother's) house. Along the way, she discovers ten unique ways to 'hear' the snow through subtle, onomatopoeic sounds. This story beautifully portrays an Arab American family, blending cultural traditions like making warak enab (stuffed grape leaves) with a universal story of intergenerational love. It is a gentle, sensory masterpiece for children ages 4 to 8 that encourages empathy and appreciation for the small, quiet moments in life.
