Linda Booth Sweeney wrote this book after the super-snowy winter of 2015. Linda is the author of When the Wind Blows , and three nonfiction books: The Systems Thinking Playbook, When a Butterfly Sneezes, and Connected Wisdom . Linda lives near Boston with her husband, three children, Rugby the dog, Boo the parakeet, Cinnamon Bun the rabbit, and a gecko named Gregg. Jana Christy has enjoyed many snow days like this but might love the ones where the family stays home best. She loves drawing girls with attitude, boys with pluck, the chickens that wander around her garden, punks, robots, cavemen and zombies, bleak weather, windy days, sea creatures, and more. She also loves creating handmade minibooks with her husband, exploring new places with her children, and letting her brain and brushes wander.
