One winter morning, Michelle Wang looked out the window and said, "I know just what to do!"  And she wrote another book.  "It Must Be Winter" is the much anticipated follow up to her multi-award winning debut "It Must Be Autumn".  Watch for "It Must Be Spring" and "It Must Be Summer" coming soon in 2022 to a bookshelf near you.   Michelle lives in Toronto, Canada with her husband, four children, and two (part time) puppy nephew pets. When she isn't teaching her students how to zip zippers and read books, Michelle can be found NOT cooking in her kitchen and eating her favourite Canadian cuisine at local restaurants where she always brings her own takeout containers.  In the winter, Michelle and her family have been known to build random snowmen on neighbours' lawns after shovelling their driveways. Their annual family snowball fight is epic.   For more information, please go to:  itmustbebooks.com
