Age: Toddler-Preschool

It's the first snow of the season and this little girl cannot wait to get outside. Bundling up, the little girl starts in her backyard with a small ball and roll, roll, rolls it through her city neighborhood, through the farm fields, and through the woods. Soon she comes across a clearing full of other children making snow people. Helping each other, the children make a whole village of snow people which then take flight, dancing in the sky. At this point, adults can be reassured that this little girl is having a fantastical dream (without adult supervision). But the last page depicts the little girl's backyard with a snow person perched next to the dog house. Which leaves us wondering: was it a dream?

Balanced between reality and a dream world, Park presents a winter story with more depth for a nice, snuggly read between adult and child.
