Description
In the icy-cold heart of winter, a little snow bear wanders through the snow. As the wind whips past him, ruffling his fur, he searches for a home. But where can he go? Each warm place has been claimed, and there is no room for a bear, no matter how little. Suddenly he sees a flickering of light, orange and bright against the snowy ground. A house! As Snow Bear pushes open the creaking door, he feels warmth spread over him. There's a girl by the window, and, somehow, deep down, Snow Bear knows that he is home. A heartwarming, wintry read, perfect for fans of Guess How Much I Love You?

Reviews"An unapologetically sweet book that will engage both little and big hearts alike." --Kirkus Reviews "The artwork, created with acrylic paint and colored pencil, is charming." --School Library Journal "Brown's soft, full-spread artwork nicely matches Prasadam-Halls's brief rhyming verse... This gentle, reassuring story is a calming tale just right for family or group sharing." --School Library Journal on I LOVE YOU NIGHT AND DAY "The gender-neutral, cross-species portrait of affection gives the book the potential for broad appeal-the animals' relationship could easily be between a single or adoptive parent and his or her child, or also between two close friends." --Publishers Weekly on I LOVE YOU NIGHT AND DAY An unapologetically sweet book that will engage both little and big hearts alike.
