Illustrated by
Steven Kellogg.
MacLachlan lets fly a string of moments and metaphors about snow, rain, and renewal. It's lovely if meandering, and the text is arranged imaginatively within Kellogg's dancing paintings of frolicking children and skies of snow. A note explains that the impulse for the book came from a desire to commemorate the children lost in the Newtown, Connecticut, school shooting, but the connection is tenuous.
