Illustrated by
Hiroe Nakata.
"We're packing snow and smacking, / we're dodging and we're whacking. / Snowballs fly and we're-- / Snow Happy!" An active day playing in the snow ends with hot chocolate and a warm fire. This rhythmic paean to winter is told in lilting rhymes. Childlike ink, watercolor, and gouache illustrations feature lots of smiling kids and plenty of snowy white space.
