Reviews

"The delights of snow-day snow-play in a small town are enumerated in this early concept book for tots... In this childcentric tale (no adults in sight), they are soon joined by a diverse cast of six friends eager to sled, make snow angels, and build snowmen... this gambol allows parents and children room to talk about seasonal weather and activities.
" - Kirkus Reviews
"A natural pairing for Ezra Jack Keats' Snowy Day, of course, but also a sweet, idyllic alternative for those occasions when the classic needs a rest.
