Sheree Fitch's clever story reflects a child in Canada trying to describe snow to a child in Africa. Written in a poetic style and occasionally utilizing "shape poetry" the descriptions of snow are vivid and playful, certain to amuse most readers. Janet Wilson's illustrations are beautiful creating the necessary depth and texture to really capture snow. The book is also a UNICEF book, meaning some of the royalties go to support UNICEF, which makes the book ideal for classroom use, providing a segue into multicultral issues. A beautiful book. Has both artistic and literary value for children of preschool age to grade 3. Relates the unique nature of snowflakes to celebrate how every child is unique and special, as a Canadian boy writes to his African penpal who has never seen snow. Evocative free verse, suggesting the experience of snow with all 5 senses. Lovely illustrations by Janet Willgate. Highly recommended. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Blue Spruce Reading Program nominee Pearson Canada Readers' Choice Award nominee Ruth Schwartz Award nominee 2002 Amelia Frances Howard Gibbon nominee 2002 CCBC Our Choice 2002 "What is snow?" Araba, a Ghanaian child, asks her Canadian pen pal. The response unfolds as a letter in poetry, rich in lyricism and in what author Sheree Fitch would call "lipslipperiness." Janet Wilson's glowing pastel illustrations revel in all the sensory experiences, the color, associated with the cold white stuff. Through the asking and the telling, two children reach halfway around the world and touch one another.

Janet Wilson's illustrations complement the words beautifully. Whether it is a child catching snowflakes on his tongue are a group of children engaged in a snowball fight, sensations seep into the reader page to page. This is a book that is to be read slowly, enjoying the sounds, examining the shapes of the words, and exploring the pictures.
At the end of the book, Fitch discusses the roots of this book. She tells us that "every book, like every person and every snowflake, is different too." This book is for UNICEF and features activities at the end to celebrate your senses.
I highly recommend this book for those who enjoy snow and for those who have never experienced it. ( )
