Publisher Description
A boy tunes into his snow creation’s dream of home in a wonderful wordless story for the most magical of seasons Through the window of his house, a boy watches snow fall gently on his snowman. From the other side of the glass, the snowman admires the home’s glow and the family scene inside, wondering what it’s like to live in such a golden place. A magical meeting of boy and snowman sets a midnight adventure into motion—the quest for a house that is suitable for a snowperson. Delightful vignettes chronicle the pair’s games in the park, their quest for the perfect site, and their creation of a sparkling, snowy mansion. A parade of curious kids and their snow people join in the revelry in a lantern-lit finale sure to take readers’ breath away. A heartwarming story poised to become a holiday classic.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
With hints of The Snowman, Sterer and Lim's dreamlike fantasy, a wordless picture book, chronicles the friendship between a child and a snowperson. Opening scenes picture the youth awakening at night to find that the scarved snowperson in their yard the night before has now arrived by foot on the family's porch. When the frozen figure enters the house and promptly begins melting in front of the hearth, the pair return outside for snow angels, sledding, and more. The following day, the protagonist plans an appropriately chilly snow dwelling, and the duo eagerly set to work, building a sparkling window-filled structure furnished with abandoned goods. The child's sorrow at leaving their friend alone at dinnertime, and hasty return through the village, results in dozens of children, portrayed with various skin tones, and snowpeople arriving at the snowmansion for an icy bash. Infused with lapis and indigo hues, digitally finished watercolor lends the smudgy, snow-filled presentation a moody cinematic feel. Winter's chill leads to communal warmth in this jolly tale. Ages 4–8.
