"Fine pearls of snow / Then a twirl of snow. / Around the eaves / A curl of snow." A young, dark-haired girl, who appears Asian, leaves her city building on a snowy morning and heads to the park to play with friends. The lyrical, sensory-rich rhyming narrative cleverly describes every aspect of her day in reference to snow-what the snow is doing, how it makes things appear, how it feels or makes her feel, and more. Back home at day's end, in her pajamas, she gazes out her window at "bright falling stars" of snow. Cheerful mixed-media illustrations offer a variety of perspectives across pages showing the girl and snow in the cityscape and in the natural setting of the park, where she plays with a diverse group of friends. (Ages 3-6)
