Snow Is… by Laura Gehl & Sonia Sánchez
This gentle, rhyming homage to snow follows a child from waking up to bedtime, defining what snow is. A child wakes up to a wintry world and immediately feels excited about the day to come. With family and a pet dog, the child catches snowflakes with their tongue, has snowball fights, sleds, builds a snowman, and all the classic snowy day fun. The lilting verse and warm, lovely illustrations make this stand out from other, similar picture book celebrations of snow.
