Though North Texas isn’t guaranteed a snowfall each year, you and the kids know what it’s like to blow hot air into your cold-stiffened fingers. In Cold Snap, or what Texans would call a cold spell, the kids spend their days skiing, sledding and building snowmen with nostalgic-level perfection. When the temp gauge hits zero, the town bands together at the hilltop for a bonfire and hot cider. You’ll want to keep this book front facing on the kids’ bookshelf for its glittery cover. Then take it to the kitchen to use its simple recipe for fresh snow and maple syrup.
