Even as the sun sets later and the days grow warmer, Plymouth author Mary Bevis shares a bit about her latest title, Old Woman Winter.
The children’s picture book was inspired on a winter day when Bevis was making her way home from Ely, Minn. She says fresh snow had made the trees look like they were covered in “meringue or whipped cream or something you’d find in a pastry shop.” Looking at the sky, Bevis knew something special was in the making. “That’s when I said, ‘I can imagine an old woman living up there above the clouds,’” she recalls wistfully.
Old Woman Winter is a tale about a couple’s relationship, their house full of dogs and creating the first winter storm. When she’s not writing, Bevis gardens, sings in a church choir and carves wood sculptures.
