Following the Winter Glow

by Cathy Gunter

Kira wants to give her ghostly friend Olo a sparkling path to their bench. It seems simple: scoop up the shining snow and carry it along. But the glow fades when Kira moves away from Olo, and even her scarf cannot keep the loose snow from slipping into the winter air. With the bench still ahead and no trail to guide her friend, Kira must find a way to share the light before every sparkle disappears.

Following the Winter Glow is a gentle story of friendship, curiosity, and a small problem that calls for a fresh way of thinking. Kira and Olo’s snowy walk invites preschoolers to notice how light changes, listen for the crunch of footsteps, and wonder what they might discover under the snow. Soft sounds and quiet moments make this a cozy read-aloud for winter days and bedtime.
