Making a Friend

40 pp. | Atheneum | October, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4169-8998-6 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Marc Rosenthal. A lonely boy becomes very attached to his snowman. When the snowman disappears in warm weather, the boy takes comfort in seeing his friend as the rain, fog, and frost throughout the year. In winter, he lovingly restores his friend to proper snowman form. The delicate digitally manipulated pencil illustrations tenderly depict the boy's patient vigil.
