Lisa Von Drasek recommends two books in this installment of Read This Book:

1. “So Cold” — by John Coy, Illustrated by Chris Park — an engaging children’s book about a father and son who practice science experiments using household objects outside on a snowy day.
2. “You Gotta Eat: Real-Life Strategies for Feeding Yourself When Cooking Feels Impossible,” by Margaret Eby.
