Description
A New York Times bestseller!
During the coldest season, when the world feels scary—what do you remember about being warm?
Baked potatoes.
Trust.
A kettle on the stove.
Blankets.
A smile.
And, most of all, the reassurance that you belong.
In his powerful and moving poem, featuring illustrations from thirteen extraordinary artists, bestselling author and UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Neil Gaiman draws together many different memories to answer the question, what do you need to be warm?
