Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2?A fanciful story that takes flight into a snow-drifted world. When school closes early because of a blizzard, Jamie is accidentally left behind as her mother picks up all of the other children in her car pool. While waiting for her mom to return, the little girl makes a snow angel. As she gets up, a real angel (just her size) "wearing a long silver dress and Jack Frost wings" takes her hand. Together they fly over the snow to watch her mother hustling the other children out of the car. When she realizes that Jamie is missing, she returns to the school, and angel and child fly back to meet her. At the end, readers see more angels laughing and throwing snow as Jamie and her mother drive home below them. The illustrations are realistically done in gouache, watercolors, and acrylics. Jamie and the snow angel are red-cheeked, button-nosed and pixie faced. The carefree, barefoot angel contrasts nicely with the bundled-up child. A gentle, reassuring story, perfect for a wintery day.?Janet M. Bair, Trumbull Library, CT
