A picture-story book for younger children from the 1970’s. With beautiful heart-warming illustrations, this book rejoices in the happiness of children playing and exploring their rural neighbourhood in winter. The story captures the special way in which young children notice and enjoy the little things, and the attentive care that they can show for stuff that adults would dismiss as rubbish. The story also gives a sense of the subtle love between siblings, and how this can make childhood a joyful time.
