by Addie Boswell (Author) Mercè López (Illustrator)
Young dancer Sofia wakes up to a quiet, white world it's a snow day! She makes her way outside to the neighborhood park, where a field awaits her, white and shining and open. It isn't long before the rest of the neighborhood wakes its sleepy head and the other kids make their way to the park, scattering all of Sofia's beautiful silence. But with the help of a new young friend, Sofia is ready to show everyone what a snow dancer can do on a perfect day like this.
With lyrical language and gorgeous art, this book sparkles with all the joy and beauty of a snow day.

Bright, expressive illustrations created in acrylic, graphite, and digital media highlight a willowy young dancer's snow-day experience. Dark-haired Sofia wakes to a tranquil winter wonderland--snowflakes spent the night "frosting the rooftops, fluffing the sidewalks, laying fuzzy hats on the fire hydrants." Outfitted in a goldenrod coat and a magenta scarf, she sets out to the local park, dancing across the unmarked soccer field's "giant stage." But when frenzied children scatter "all of Sofia's beautiful silence," she must recover if she wants to continue enjoying the snow day--and with the help of a small brown-skinned child clad in a magenta ensemble and fairy wings, she just might manage it. Vivid imagery, onomatopoeia, and supple blue-gradient typography enliven Sofia's journey as she learns to share her snow day. A dynamic tale of cooperation, adaptation, and friendship. Ages 4-7. (Dec.)
