Robert Frost’s 1922 poem “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” brings to mind that moment when one stops to watch the snow fall, when everything is still. In 1978 it was paired with fittingly beautiful illustrations by Susan Jeffers. The picture book version of the poem is a good way to introduce children to the writer’s work. In any format, however, the poem serves as a reminder of winter’s magic. While the season’s appeal may be hard to see in daily life at this time of year, it endures in literature.
