'No breath of wind, No gleam of sun Still the white snow Whirls softly down'

Outside, the world turns to white and three children and a dog build a snowman, throw snowballs and explore the frozen expanses.

"Walter de la Mare's quiet poem, Snow, about the emptiness of a white landscape, has contrasting illustrations by Carolina Rabei full of the busyness of Christmas, depicted in nostalgic screen prints with a limited, muted palette. The storytelling is in the pictures, the words a background, like snow falling outside a festive room. "-- Sunday Times


Nominated for the Kate Greenaway Prize, la Mare's classic poem is revisited in two stunning formats--each illustrated by Rabei--that celebrate the wonder of snow: a wordless board book and a classic picture book featuring silver foil on the cover. Full color.
