Bookroo's summary

In a snowy landscape, a discontented girl sees only dull grays until her friend encourages her to look closer. As she discovers vibrant colors like orange berries and purple shadows, her perspective shifts. This gentle tale of friendship and gratitude transforms a bleak winter day into a celebration of hidden beauty and cozy pleasures. Will she learn to appreciate the quiet joys around her?

From the publisher

Once you start to notice, colors and reasons for gratitude are everywhere, and that changes everything! Celebrate the hues and comforts of a cozy winter day as a discontented girl at first notices only dull grays and browns in a snowy landscape but is coaxed by her friend to look more closely. Soon she finds orange berries, blue water, purple shadows, and more. Warm friendship and a fresh way of seeing things transform a snow-covered landscape from bleak to beautiful!
