About this Event

From the New York Times bestseller of Miss Maple’s Seeds comes this charming story of Acorn Village, where a delightful community of adorable forest animals embraces the magic of winter, which is inspired by the Danish concept of “Hygge.” Join Eliza Wheeler for a read-aloud of A Cozy Winter Day, followed by a chance to get your books signed!

Some of the strongest influences on her creativity have been the wild Wisconsin seasons, canoeing the Brule River, picking blueberries with her grandmother, and digging through the snow with her brothers.
