A Quiet Conversation with the Snow
Description
Everywhere white, the snow is calling a little boy outside to play. Readers join Noah and his dad as they embark on an adventure one snowy afternoon deep among the woods and streams, to their secret sitting-spot. Noah leads the way through the blanket of whiteness past the blueberry bushes, as the snow hums with big white fluffy flakes. They hear soft echoing against the branches and see trees that have become laden with snowy shapes. As the heavy snowfall continues, readers become aware of the bright red cardinal among the snowscapes, which the author references in the backmatter, citing folklore about their sudden appearances. Steadman's skillful hand creates gorgeous, snowy backdrops that gracefully capture the wonder and beauty of the common yet profound experience of walking with nature, encouraging readers of all ages to discover and re-discover the magical adventures awaiting their attention.
