Kids LOVE snow, and I get why; the beauty, the fun, and the magic it holds are so strong in a child’s eye. Adults don’t seem to care much for snow or cold weather, but I do like it for spending time indoors snuggled up with a warm cup of hot chocolate, a fuzzy blanket, and a good book.

Grab a blanket and get reading because I have found 21 books about snow for special education classrooms that will be just perfect for this winter season!
There are a variety of titles from fiction to nonfiction, silly to educational, and some in between. I hope you find a few that are just what you’re looking for this winter!
