While not quite a picture book, Weird But True! Christmas: 300 Festive Facts to Light Up the Holidays does have a lot of pictures so for that reason I'm am including it here. It's just a fun little book with odd facts from Christmas celebrations around the world. It's one of the National Geographic Kids publications so the photos were excellent. :-)

I think this book would make a wonderful companion to Sing a Song of Seasons (November 23, 2018 post) as both deal with seasonal changes. Here, in Sometimes Rain, with words by Meg Fleming and illustrations by Diana Sudyka, it's with short rhyming verse and delightful pictures. Both celebrate the outdoors.
