About This Book
Reach for this book when the first flurry of winter arrives or when your child starts asking the big 'how' and 'why' questions about the changing weather. This nonfiction guide transforms a chilly morning into a science lesson, using clear language and vibrant photography to explain how snow forms, why it is cold, and what happens when it melts. It is an ideal tool for parents looking to ground a child's natural sense of wonder in foundational scientific facts. While the book is categorized as a chapter book, it is perfectly tailored for the 4 to 7 age range with its accessible vocabulary and visual-heavy layout. It encourages curiosity and observation, helping young children understand their physical world through a lens of joy and gratitude for nature's cycles. It is a practical choice for building early STEM literacy while celebrating the magic of a snow day.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely secular, scientific, and focuses on the physical world without addressing social or emotional trauma.
Ideal Reader
A preschooler or kindergartner who is an 'information seeker.' This is the child who stands at the window during a storm and wants to know exactly where the ice comes from and why it disappears in their hand.
Parent Prep
This book can be read cold. It is helpful to be prepared to explain that while the book shows heavy snow, not every winter day will look like the photos if you live in a milder climate. A child asking 'Where does snow come from?' or 'Why is it white?' during a winter walk or while getting dressed for school.
