About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the transition to sleep or feels a surge of energy just as the lights go out. It is a gentle, imaginative bridge between the playful restlessness of a toddler and the quiet beauty of the natural world. Through the story of Little Snow and his big, fluffy bed, Grace Lin validates the impulse to wiggle and jump while providing a soothing path toward rest. The story serves as a whimsical origin myth for winter weather, explaining snow as the feathers escaping from a boy's bouncy mattress. It is developmentally perfect for preschoolers who are beginning to understand metaphors but still live in a world of physical play. The relationship between Little Snow and his mother is grounded in warmth and patience, making it an ideal choice for strengthening the parent-child bond during the bedtime routine.
