Five stars for the art but three - maybe even two- for the writing. Cute little book.

I decided not to read aloud the part where the bunny snuck outside while his mother was washing dishes with zero problems or consquences...not an idea I need to give my children.

In these lovely, quiet illustrations, Komako Sakai perfectly captures the feelings of a snow day for a young child who lives in an apartment in the city. You get the sense of hushed quiet as the snow falls and the noisy city comes to a halt - the expectant sense of waiting to go outside and make marks in the new unblemished snow. A great one on one read for a parent and child or storytime.

A young bunny and its mother are snowed in at home with snow cancelled and a father who is stuck at an airport far away. What will they do?

This quiet story is lovely both in its calm tone and simple images. It is what many of us hope for on snow days: a warm place to get out from the cold, the opportunity to enjoy favorite activities in the company of loved ones, and of course, some welcomed time off from school.
