Snow

Title: Snow
1999 Caldecott Honor Book
Author/Illustrator: Uri Shulevitz
Published: 1998
Summary: This is a parallelism between the purity of snow and the simplistic views of a child's thoughts.
Memorable Quote: "But snowflakes don't listen to the radio"
Artistic Example: The illustrator gradually uses snowflakes to show the transformation of the city's imperfections of grey to the stainless, purities of the snow.
Teaching Idea: Have children make snowmen for each family member, with the snowmen's facial expressions depicting the attitude of that family member.
