Robert Frost鈥檚 1922 poem 鈥淪topping by Woods on a Snowy Evening鈥� 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鈥檚 work. In any format, however, the poem serves as a reminder of winter鈥檚 magic. While the season鈥檚 appeal may be hard to see in daily life at this time of year, it endures in literature.
