Verdict: This book will be a winner with toddlers and young children for many years to come! First Snow is a perfect bedtime snuggle book.
She also uses a lot of white space and many wordless pages in this small book designed for small hands. The minimal text flows nicely, giving the black and white pencil illustrations (with a splash of red) time to draw readers deeply into the journey of a little girl rolling her snowball across town. Park’s dreamy illustrations show the simple wonderment of the story and allow readers time to imagine themselves playing in the new snow. This enchanting and quiet book by Bomi Park captures the joy and magic a child experiences in a first snow of the season. She begins to roll a small snowball, which grows bigger and bigger as she wanders across the town, along rivers, through the woods, past a bear, and into an open area where a group of children are busy building snowmen and enjoying a magical day in the snow. She quickly dresses in her boots, coat, scarf and hat and sneaks outside to the quiet hush of the snow flakes falling.
Synopsis: A little girl awakens to the sound of snow flakes pit patting against her window. Opening: “Shhhh, listen… do you hear something? Pit, pit, pit against the window. Themes: Snow, Snowmen, Snow Angels, Inspirational
