Winter comes. It's cold! We wear coats and hats. We stay in warm houses. We feel warm. How do animals spend the winter? Wild geese fly south for winter. They fly a long way. They fly in groups. Some butterflies fly to warm places for winter, too. Some animals don' t fly away. They are active in winter. Red foxes grow thick fur for winter. You can find them in forests. Snowshoe rabbits live in North America. They are brown in summer. They grow new white fur in winter. It keeps them warm and safe in snow. Black bears make warm beds to sleep in. They use leaves and grass. Some bears can stay asleep for seven months. Squirrels store food in fall. They store nuts and mushrooms. They hide food in their cheeks. They hide food in holes in trees too.
Joanne Kathleen Rowling was born in Bristol, England, in 1965. She dreamed of being a famous writer when she was a little girl. Before she wrote Harry Potter, she was very poor. She had no job and had to take care of her young daughter. Then she decided to write the Harry Potter story to make some money. Every day, she sat at a coffee shop writing until the first book was finished. But no one wanted to put out her book. They said girls couldn't write about magic. Then Rowling changed her name from Joanne Kathleen to J.K., so people wouldn't know she was a woman. At last, in 1997, someone agreed to put out the first book and it was a huge success. She then wrote six more Harry Potter books. In just a few years, JK. Rowling went from a poor young woman to the most—loved and richest writer in the world.
