White Snow, Bright Snow
Alvin Tresselt (1988)
Caldecott Award
The book White Snow, Bright Snow is a story about how people react to the first snow of the season, how they feel during winter, and how they feel when spring returns. I also used this in my text set about precipitation. We would be talking about snow at this point in the unit, and how some people like or dislike snow and why. I think it is important to bring feelings about subjects into the classroom, because it makes it more personal. The students would then write their own responses about how they feel about snow and share it with the class. I want other people to know about this book because this book models and represents how people feel and act under certain circumstances. It is a simple book that can create and evoke feelings in children that can inspire them to write about themselves. I also really enjoyed the illustrations. This would be a good book to read to your class on the first snowfall of the year!
