Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.
The new boy has never played in snow, and doesn't have any snow gear. Little girl neighbor helps him.
I am not sure if this book is supposed to be wordless, or if there is a problem with my digital galley. I hope it stays wordless. The illustrations are stunning and pull you into the story. I would not have known the two kids didn’t speak the same language if it had not said so on the back. But it didn’t matter. This story was about the enduring love of childhood, and how play crosses all boundaries.

This book has no words in it, which was quite unique! The story is told through pictures, which could easily be a great way to have the reader make up the story as they go. The characters are very expressive, which makes the story fun without the words. This unique premise impressed me, since I haven't seen many books without words. Then, you get to the end of the book and figure out why there is no words... the two lead characters don't speak the same language. But remember, fun is fluent in all languages! language boundaries doesn't limit the fun.
Overall, this book is super cute and a great little read! I think younger readers won't understand the premise and it will go over their heads, but older (six and up) will be able to appreciate it.
Four out of five stars.
Thank you to NetGalley and Second Story Press for sending me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.… (altro)
