Samson in the Snow
Samson in the Snow | Philip C. Stead
4 posts | 8 read | 4 to read
One sunny day Samson, a large and friendly woolly mammoth, encounters a little red bird who is looking for yellow flowers for her mouse friend (whose favorite color is yellow). As she flies off with the flowers, Samson wonders what it must be like to have a friend. He wonders this for so long, in fact, that he falls asleep and wakes up to a world covered in snow. In the midst of a blizzard, Samson finds and shelters the little red bird and flower-loving mouse in a tender tale of kindness and unexpected friendship.

A great winter read about friendship, worry, and the color yellow. Quiet at times, but emotionally true throughout. I love the illustrations, and that the book is dedicated to "anyone who is having a bad day." #kidlit #picturebooks

I loved everything about this one. The illustrations, the story, the way they worked together, the use of color, and the fact that not only did I love it as an adult, but every one of my kids also loved it. One of my favorite picture books in recent memory.

Krisjericho Definitely on my Caldecott short list this year. I'm sure the committee will be calling me for my input any day now. 😂 7y
