I am trying to find this book for my Dad, who remembers it from when he was a kid. It would have been published in the late 1960s at the very latest. It was a hard-cover children’s book with colour illustrations. He thinks it was called, “The Day that Winter Went Away,” but we haven’t been able to find anything by searching that up, so I am guessing it is not quite the right title. The plot is that there are a some woodland animals (rabbits, squirrels, birds, maybe others) grousing about the start of winter. One of the animals says something like “I wish winter would go away and never come back. ” Winter (which kind of looks like a head blowing cold wind) hears this and decides to leave. This causes a lot of ecological problems. The rabbits turn white but there is no snow, so they can’t hide. The trees don’t leaf out properly in spring, so the birds building nests have no shelter. etc. So the animals have to go on a journey to find Winter, apologize, and ask him to come back. It would be amazing if you were able to find this book. Thank you for looking!<\/p>\n
