When It Snows

In his first picture book Richard Collingridge dives headlong into a fantasy of the season, showing it to be a vast and mountainous expanse of white, both eerie and enchanting. "The New York Times" A picture book debut that features not only an eery ode to mega-snow and various large icy creatures, but also a good word at the end for reading itself. "The Associated Press" Newcomer Collingridge's paintings are sumptuous and absorbing, creating a genuine sense of magic. And, as the final scene makes clear, it's a kind of magic that any reader can access: 'And I can go there every day... because my favorite book takes me there.' "Publishers Weekly" The magic of reading is the inspiration for this stunningly illustrated debut in which a little boy takes a long and eventful journey across a snow-bound imaginative landscape. The dream-like style of illustration makes this the perfect book for snuggling up with on dark wintry nights--Collingridge is clearly a major talent to look out for in the future.
