Amazon Description
"When a young boy sees a single snowflake fall, he rejoices that a major storm is on the way, despite predictions to the contrary. But it is the child who prevails as the 'snowflakes keep coming and coming and coming.' Shulevitz's outstanding illustrations...enrich and extend the brief text." --Starred, School Library Journal"Pure enchantment from start to finish." --Starred, Publishers Weekly
One Potato Review
Shulevitz’s illustrations - of city landscapes and haughty old ladies and fanciful creatures apparently hatched from a child’s imagination - make this more beautiful than Crockett Johnson’s classic, but in some ways this is like The Carrot Seed delivering from the sky. Everything is discouragement, “but snowflakes don’t listen to radio. Snowflakes don’t watch television. All snowflakes know is snow, snow and snow.”
