“Incorporating a range of winter pastimes, from making snow angels, throwing snowballs, and sledding to tracking critters, avoiding yellow snow, and staying cozy on a blizzardy day. . . The richly detailed illustrations combine the crispness of manga-inflected pen-and-ink drawings with the softness of watercolor to show an inclusive cast of children experiencing every sort of snow.”
—Publishers Weekly“This is a charming seasonal story. . . Offermann's vivacious pen, ink, and watercolor illustrations brim with energy and movement, whether it's the leaves blowing in the wind of the first snowfall, flying snowballs, or the three friends sailing over a hill on a sled.”
