Snow

This Caldecott Honor Book from celebrated storyteller Uri Shuvelitz is a playful and poetic ode to snowy days.

No one in the city thinks much of a few snowflakes. Not the man with the hat or the lady with the umbrella. Not even the television or the radio forecasters. But one boy and his dog have faith that the snow will amount to something spectacular, and when flakes start to swirl down on the city, they are also the only ones who know how to truly enjoy it.

Uri Shulevitz's lively depiction of a snowy day and the transformation of a city is perfectly captured in simple, lyrical text and effervescent illustrations.
