Fantastic picture book with onomatopoeia and a lovely connection between a girl and her grandma. Great for lessons on dialogue, too. Provides some cultural insight as well. I am very happy with this addition to my repertoire.
abigailbat's review against another edition
This peaceful picture book captures the feel and sounds of a snow day. When Lina awakens to find the neighborhood covered in snow, she wonders if her grandmother who has lost much of her sight even knows that it snowed. She thinks about how snow sounds - the sounds of people scraping their sidewalks, cleaning off their cars, or skiing through the park - as she walks to her grandmother's retirement home to help her with a cooking project. This quiet, thoughtful book celebrates the special moments that family members spend together and the joy in being mindful about the world around you.

After a blizzard, a young girl makes a trek to check on her grandmother and make food with her. Along the way she makes note of a variety of sounds unique to snow.
Enjoyable story with an ethnic family.
