There are planes to fly and buses to catch, but a small child wishes for a different sort of day in this exquisite picture book. When clouds gather and heavy flakes begin to fall, her invocation comes true, and as a too-busy world falls silent, a family revels in the freedom and peace of a snow day.
In a spare text that reads as pure song and illustrations of astonishingly beautiful scratchboard art, Sidman and Krommes remind us that sometimes, if spoken from the heart, wishes really can come true.
