White Snow, Bright Snow
by Roger Duvoisin
Summary
When snow begins to fall on a small town, the postman, the farmer, the policeman, and his wife each react in their own practical way while the children simply delight in the changing world around them. Alvin Tresselt's poetic text follows the storm from the first flakes through the deep drifts to the eventual thaw of spring. Roger Duvoisin illustrated the seasons with simple shapes and a limited palette of blues, whites, and warm accents that capture the hush of a snowy day.
