The Snowball Fight

From the New York Times bestsellers behind Stick and Stone comes a wintry (but warmhearted) ode to the pleasures of a snowy day outside. A humorous, modern-day classic to be shared alongside other winter tales like Sneezy the Snowman and Mice Skating.

One wintry morning, the snow begins and so does . . . a snowball fight!

In her signature verse, Beth Ferry recounts a day spent behind snowbanks and on sleds, while Tom Lichtenheld’s cinematic art delights readers with sly and snowy twists.
