Illustrated by
Sheena Lott.
Too excited to sleep on her first night in the mountains, a girl thinks about the quiet magic of the cold, snowy landscape. Watercolors depict the family's snowy adventures hiking, skiing, and playing an icicle xylophone. The overly lyrical text is written in the first person but does not come close to the thought or speech patterns of a young girl.
