I was curious about the content because I was attracted to the cover and title.
Lina wakes up and sees that the whole outside world is covered in white snow. Today is the day Lina has promised to go to the nursing home where her grandmother Sitti, who is losing her sight, to make traditional food together.
As Lina walks to the nursing home, she listens to the sounds of the snow. There are many ways to hear snow, such as the sound of shoveling snow, the sound of walking on snow, the sound of a bird flapping its wings and shaking off snow on a branch, the sound of dragging a sled on snow, the sound of smoothing snow while making a snowman, and the sound of water droplets falling from clothes placed on a radiator as the snow melts.
After Lina and her grandmother make warak enab (a dish wrapped in grape leaves), they go out to the garden together and feel the snow with a peaceful mind. Quiet is the tenth way to hear snow.
The book is beautiful, both in terms of its illustrations and its content. Lina‘s love for her family, her making of traditional food, and her listening to nature and her surroundings were truly heartwarming. I especially liked the way Lina used her senses to connect with the world around her.
