\nI know we see a lot of snowman-friend-melts stories in children’s lit, but Robert Broder’s<\/a><\/strong> Crow and Snow<\/em> (Simon & Schuster, October 2020), illustrated by Olivier Tallec<\/a><\/strong>, handles the trope in a way I find truly funny and moving. I reviewed it at BookPage<\/em>. <\/p>\n

That review is here<\/a><\/strong>, and you can see some spreads from the book below. <\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n

“‘You caught me,’ said Crow. ‘It\u2019s the least I can do,’ said Snow.
It was quiet. ‘Snow,’ said Crow. ‘Yes,’ said Snow. ‘I love you,’ said Crow.”<\/em>
