It snowed. And snowed. And snowed. After it snowed, everyone bundled up and went outside to play. You come, too! Carin Berger's exquisite collages illuminate, from dawn to dusk, the perfect winter day.
What a wonderful way to create a picture book! As a genealogist I love looking at old ledgers and I can see how some were used in the creative backgrounds of these illustrations. Pieced together over I cannot image how long Carin Berger has truly created a winter wonderland. Using many children's names of various background I think this could be a favorite and special book for many on a snowy day to read. The story is fun, but for me in this one it is the artistry that is truly magical.
