SnowFalls Format: Hardback

An introduction to the magic, beauty and fun of snow for very young readers, perfect for fans of Ezra Jack Keats' classic The Snowy Day.

Snow softens, snow tricks, snow tracks, snow glows and snow snows and snows and snows, transforming a small village into a winter wonderland. A girl and her dog set out and make the most of every snow-filled moment: sledding, building snowmen and snowforts, making snowangels (and snowdogs), and drinking cocoa by a cozy fire as the snow continues to fall. This luminous and lively picture book celebrates the beauty, magic and excitement of snow with simple, easy-to-read text, comprised almost solely of verbs and action words, and gorgeous art that highlights the amazing colors of a snowy day. As inviting as the first snowfall, but so much warmer, Snow Falls encourages little people and big people to go outside and enjoy the snow . . . before it goes!

KATE GARDNER loves all four seasons, especially spring, so she was surprised to find herself writing about the magic of snow just as tulips began to bloom in her neighborhood. Kate is also the author of Lovely Beasts: The Surprising Truth. She lives near Boston, Massachusetts (and within walking distance of a great bookstore -- come rain, wind or snow).
