Over and Under the Snow by Kate Messner & Christopher Silas Neal - Children’s Nature Picture Book #3386697 (License: Personal Use)

The cover art illustrates a dual-layered winter landscape: above, silhouetted trees and two figures cross a snowy field; below, a hibernating animal curls peacefully in a leaf-lined burrow. Warm earth tones contrast with cool blues and whites, evoking quiet wonder and seasonal transition. The stylized illustration invites curiosity about life both over and under the snow.

Used on publisher websites, educational resource pages, library catalogs, and children’s book retail listings to showcase the book’s theme of winter ecology and nature observation. Targets parents, teachers, and librarians seeking engaging STEM-aligned picture books for ages 4-8.
