(3) K-3 After an unusual snowstorm in Florence, Sandro, a young page in the Medici palace, searches for his father to ask him about the surprise Piero de' Medici is planning. Sandro finally finds his father with Michelangelo, who is carving the surprise: a huge snowman. Based on a real incident, the story and watercolor illustrations give the flavor of Florence in 1494.
