Product Description
Sometimes all it takes is one snowflake to turn an ordinary day into an adventure. Snow by Uri Shulevitz captures the anticipation and wonder of watching a city slowly transform beneath falling snow.
While the grown-ups and weather reports doubt that a few flakes will amount to much, one boy and his dog keep watching. Soon, the snow begins to fall in earnest, covering the city and inviting them into the kind of winter day kids remember.

Built for Real Outdoor Childhoods
There is something unforgettable about waking up to fresh snow and wondering what the day might become. Snow celebrates that feeling—the anticipation, imagination, and pure delight of a world suddenly transformed by winter.

FOUNDED BY WOMEN. BUILT FOR ADVENTURE.
