White Snow, Bright Snow: A Caldecott Award Winner
All the wonder and delight a child feels in a snowfall is caught in the pages of this book - the frost ferns on the yard and the mystery and magic of a new white world. Roger Duvoisin's pictures in soft blue halftones with brilliant splashes of yellow and red emphasize the gaiety and humor as well as the poetic quality of the text.
