20 Snow Books for Children

This afternoon the snow started softly falling upon our lawn. It was gentle and quiet and nothing really spectacular except that it was the first snow of the season.

Then, this evening, around four, it began to accumulate enough that AJ could make footprints in the white slush.

And, it was magical to see him enjoy something so beautiful, so fresh, so pure. I caught him in a joyous moment, relishing a snowflake on his tongue and it made me realize how precious those moments are and how magnificent it is to see him having those moments…ones I never thought he would have.

It made me think of my own childhood and the books I used to read, the ones that I have memories of. My father used to read to me as we sat on my bed next and occasionally looked out the window. We would watch the falling snow in the street lamp across the way. To me, it was heaven.

Enjoy these books on snow. If you want to purchase any please head to the sidebar where I have linked them to Amazon for you.
