Snow Story
White magic: a lyrical, memorable child's celebration of snow From her window the next morning, Chloe saw a world that was white and still, a smooth piece of drawing paper waiting for an artist... In a story as gentle and soft as falling snow, acclaimed children's writer Nancy Hundal and accomplished artist Kasia Charko have created a lyrical, warmly realistic celebration of snow. After a storm, Chloe discovers the transforming power of snow, delighting in a colorful snow angel, the feeling of her toes -- so cold, that 'she thought they'd snap off like icicles inside her boots' -- and the inescapable fact that there are two kinds of grown-ups in this world: those who like snow, and those who don't. With Nancy Hundal's gift for inhabiting the mind and heart of a child, paired beautifully with Kasia Charko's softly glowing color illustrations, Snow Story is a winter wonderland of a story, a warm reading pleasure to be experienced again and again. - Category: Books/Reading - Misc. - New Item: 461715718
