“Snow is a feeling the moment you wake / Snow is a stillness before the first flake.” This picture book shows us a classic snow day through the eyes of a young child. Each page tells readers what snow means to the speaker—anticipation, snowball fights, sitting in front of the fire, and togetherness. The rhyming text and the digital illustrations in a warm blue palette punctuated with reds work together beautifully to bring color into a world blanketed in snow. After a day of fun and excitement, this loving, diverse family snuggles down with some cookies and blankets and bids us goodnight.

From the ">November/December 2024 issue of The Horn Book Magazine.
