It's getting to be that time of year. Well...that depends on if you're in Vermont or in Florida! Either way, snow will be here before you know it, and it'll be a great time to curl up with the family for a short and sweet tale of a little boy's first time at his town's winter carnival.
Eli (short for Elijah) is a little boy who's ready to conquer his first winter carnival. Plus, it gives him the chance to be just like his big brother Elijah who has gone before. Eli, Isaiah, Mom, and Dad suit up to take on feet of snow, the ski slopes, a bit of ice hockey, and the tremendous task of building the best and quirkiest snow man. Through it all, Eli joins friends in celebrating the power of community and the comfort in being surrounded by loved ones.
Author Lisa Bowen artfully captures the brightness, beauty, and boldness of experiencing anything for the first. Nina Vanessa Pontillas's illustrations are sleek, fluid, and bursting with character. You don't want to miss this delightful read.
Oh...and don't forget to bundle up!
