Join us in celebrating a new MNHS Press Book children's book "So Cold" by author John Coy. In this vibrantly illustrated children’s story, a boy and his father dress in layer after layer before braving the cold. Together the two experiment: What happens when boiling water is flung into the air? Or when maple syrup is poured on clean snow? A helium balloon that floats inside the house changes dramatically in the freezing air. These and other discoveries await explorers bold enough to venture out on a bright and chilly day. Back inside the son declares: “so cold is so fun!”
