Reach for this book when your child is facing a major life transition, such as moving to a new city or starting a school where they feel like an outsider. It follows young Danilito as his family emigrates from a warm Caribbean island to a snowy, unfamiliar New York City. The story gently validates the fear of the unknown and the specific anxiety of not knowing the local language. Through the quiet magic of a first snowfall and a tender morning spent with his father, Danilito discovers that while the world is new and cold, it is also full of wonder and possibilities. It is a comforting, realistic choice for children ages 4 to 8 who need to see that big changes can be beautiful instead of just scary.
