From Booklist
Ages 4^-8. Xiao Ming and his mother head out into the snowy world to take advantage of the "canvas of white" on the ground. Using a stick to write in the snow, Xiao Ming's mother teaches him 10 Chinese characters beginning with tree: "It looks just like a tree. I can see its trunk, branches, and roots." As the characters begin to build on one another, children will be able to see and appreciate the pictorial nature of Chinese writing. The text reads awkwardly, but it communicates clearly, and what the words don't convey, the pictures clarify in wintry vignettes. Like Cheryl Chapman's 1994 book Snow on Snow on Snow, Lee uses paper collages to great effect, showing people of all ages and ethnicities enjoying snowy activities. The textured paper, vibrant winter clothing, animals in their fur and feathers, and snowflake-decorated colored borders create a lively atmosphere for this memorable lesson in Chinese writing.
