About this ebook

Look out. Now look up. From the sky one flake falls, then another. And just like that—it's snowing.

In this beautiful book from debut creator Bomi Park, a young girl wakes up to the year's first snowy day. From her initial glimpse out the window to her poignant adventures—rolling a snowman, making snow angels—the girl's quiet quests are ones all young readers will recognize. Simple, muted text and exquisite, evocative art conjure the excitement of a day spent exploring the wonder of snow—and the magic that, sometimes literally, such a day brings. As subtly joyful as a snow day itself, this book will find its home in the hearts of young adventurers everywhere.

    Soft illustrations in black and white with pops of red and light skin tones create a quiet and hypnotic depiction of a young child's first snow. The child dons snow gear to creep outside and makes a snowball, rolling it past buildings and animals to a clearing where many other children are also building their snowmen. Gentle and sweet.

    Awakened by the pitter patter of snow striking her window, a young child heads out into the nighttime world in this lovely picture-book from South Korea, enjoying the first snow of the season. Rolling a snowball in the confines of her yard, the girl eventually rolls through the nearby woods, and into a field, where countless other children have come as well, rolling their own balls. It is a magical time, as the children build their snowmen...Originally published in 2012 as 첫눈, and then translated into English in 2016, First Snow is author/illustrator Bomi Park's debut picture-book. Although not wordless, it is textually sparse, allowing the beautiful illustrations to tell most of the story. Mostly black and white and shades of gray, with some limited color accents - the girl's red scarf, and the red hats and scarves of the other children - the artwork here skillfully captures the wonder of the nighttime vista, and the enchantment of the first snowfall of the season. I loved the overall aesthetic of the book, with its quiet sense of wonder, and I appreciated some of the little details as well, particularly the little puppy that follows the girl on her nighttime adventure. Recommended to picture-book readers looking for winter-time picture-books for younger children, perhaps six years and under.
