Through beautiful poetry and illustration, Greg Budig guides the reader through falling snow with Still (A Winter's Journey).

Put on your boots and mittens and experience a walk in the snow any time of the year.


BIOGRAPHY
Greg Budig grew up in western Minnesota where the ever changing seasons left a life long impression on him. He gave voice to the mysterious night wind in his first book, I Hear the Wind, and has captured the dreamlike qualities of a walk through a peaceful winter landscape in his newest book Still (A Winter's Journey). Greg currently lives with his wife and three children in St. Cloud, MN where he still draws inspiration as an author and illustrator from the world around him.

"Who we are and what we do for a living can be two different things." Greg has spent a lifetime working at jobs totally unrelated to writing or illustrating, but has always kept alive the hope that someday his talents would be recognized.
