Danny's First Snow

1/6

written and illustrated

by Leonid Gore
Atheneum, 2007

“The exquisite illustrations in this story about a first snowfall will delight young readers. Gore achieves remarkable shapes and surfaces, with green pines transformed into bears that gradually melt away as the day advances. His illustrations show what the text need not explain: that ordinary snowflakes can transform the familiar into a world of wonder.”
-Publishers Weekly

“…original plot and perceptive illustrations make Danny's story a treat for wintry story times.”
