Rabbits, a fox, a deer, and even a bear watch her with curiosity, even reverence, as she steadfastly rolls, rolls and rolls.Īn interior spread from First Snow by Bomi Parkīy the time she reaches a clearing, her snowball is twice as big as she is and it almost blocks her view of the dozens of other children who've had the same idea. Through a field, past an early morning train, through the dark woods - there is nothing threatening in her snowy world. She rolls and rolls, it gets bigger and bigger, and she gets further and further from home. With her puppy companion at her side, she begins to roll a snowball. The textured paintings are quiet and subtle and striking. The only color initially is the red scarf the little girl wears around her neck, and the red stripe across her knitted mittens. That's all part of the sense of wonder we get from the pictures, shown in black, white and shades of gray. Never mind that the sky is still pitch black. When an unnamed small girl awakens to the first snowfall of the season, she puts on her boots, coat, scarf and hat and heads outside. ![]() 32 pages ISBN 978-1-4521-5472-5 Click to purchaseįirst published in South Korea in 2012, Bomi Park's debut is a dreamlike picture book that celebrates the wonder of the natural world. ![]()
