When the Snow Falls

(3) PS Illustrated by Jana Christy. After Grandma sleeps over, a (mixed-race) family wakes on their farm to an unexpected snow day. Delightful eight-word, four-line stanzas evoke wintry images, sensations, and activities as Grandma takes the two siblings sledding and they get hot chocolate with Grandpa in town ("Cocoa warms. / Mittens puddle. / Day dawdles. / We cuddle"). Digitized mixed-media illustrations ably depict the children's exuberant play.
