Winter Sun is a tender, poetic picture book that captures the quiet struggle of winter-both outside in the cold and inside the heart of a child named Elianna.
As the season changes, the world feels different. The sky is grey, the air bites, and no matter how many layers they wear or how many star jumps they do, the cold won't go away. Their toes are soaked, their scarf is tight, and their heart feels heavy. In that moment, the question every child has asked bubbles up: "Why does winter even exist?"
But then something shifts. A pause. A breath. A feeling on their cheeks that wasn't there before. It's the Winter Sun-soft, golden, and unexpected-reminding them that warmth is still here, even in the coldest moments. As the story unfolds, Elianna notices small signs of comfort and joy: birds playing, air moving through their hair, light glinting through the clouds. The Winter Sun doesn't take the cold away, but it offers something just as powerful: perspective, presence, and hope.
Written and illustrated by Eva Geerling, Winter Sun is a poetic meditation on emotional resilience, mindfulness, and the quiet beauty of choosing to see light-even when it's hard. With evocative illustrations and a heartfelt voice, this book gently guides young readers through feelings of sadness, discomfort, and uncertainty, and shows them how warmth can return-not just in the weather, but inside ourselves.
Perfect for children aged 3-8, this book is a comforting companion for seasonal transitions, emotional check-ins, and bedtime reflections. A gentle tool for parents, educators, and mental health professionals, Winter Sun encourages kids to notice the small, good things - even when everything feels grey.
