Book Love: Snow

Title: Snow
Author: Uri Shulevitz

Why I Love This Book: You don't always know when a few snowflakes are going to turn into a snowstorm big enough to cover the world with white, and that is part of the magic of this story. This book touches on the sometimes unpredictability of weather, as well as the simple delight that can be found in a good snowstorm. I especially love how the illustrations depict how the world changes as the snow falls. This is a great backdrop for talking about snow and winter, in addition to conveying the emotions that such changes in the weather can bring.

Book Love: Rain


Title: Rain
Author: Robert Kalan
Illustrator: Donald Crews

Why I Love This Book: Honestly, my favorite part of this book is the illustrations, most of which are made up of words. (as shown by the cover) The text is simple and fun, and makes for a great exploration of rain, weather and color concepts for young minds and early readers.
