Snow is a popular picture book for children, written and illustrated by Uri Shulevitz. It was recognized with a Caldecott Honor in 1999. This book also won the Charlotte Zolotow Award in the same year.
What is Snow About?
This book uses beautiful watercolor and pen-and-ink drawings. They show how a city changes as snow begins to fall. At first, the pictures use dull and grey colors. But by the end, the city is covered in snow. It looks magical and bright.
The Story of Snow
The story begins in a dull and grey city. Then, the first snowflakes start to fall. Most grown-ups, and even the TV and radio, say it won't snow much. But a young boy and his dog believe it will.
As more and more snow piles up, the adults rush home. They seem a bit grumpy about the weather. But the boy and his dog are full of joy. They get to have fun and enjoy the snowy city all by themselves.
