Summary of the book: This book is about a little boy who wakes up to a blanket of snow. He goes out to play in the beautiful falling snow. The little boy explores the snow by making, snow angels, tracks in the snow, and loves sledding down the hills.
How can this book be used in the classroom: I would use this book to start out the winter season and also ask the children what they would do if they woke up to snow fallen. This is a great book for diversity, because the main character is an African-American boy.
