❄️ Kid's Book Read Aloud | The Snow Dancer by Addie Boswell

The Snow Dancer Written by Addie Boswell and illustrated by Mercè López Music from bensound.com Kid's book read aloud Young dancer Sofia wakes up to a quiet, white world—it’s a snow day! She makes her way outside to the neighborhood park, where a field awaits her, white and shining and open. It isn’t long before the rest of the neighborhood wakes its sleepy head—and the other kids make their way to the park, scattering all of Sofia’s beautiful silence. But with the help of a new young friend, Sofia is ready to show everyone what a snow dancer can do on a perfect day like this. With lyrical language and gorgeous art, this book sparkles with all the joy and beauty of a snow day. Review “Bright, expressive illustrations created in acrylic, graphite, and digital media highlight a willowy young dancer’s snow-day experience…Vivid imagery, onomatopoeia, and supple blue-gradient typography enliven Sofia’s journey as she learns to share her snow day. A dynamic tale of cooperation, adaptation, and friendship.” —Publishers Weekly “Frosty blues and whites usher in the snow that blankets this effervescent tale of snow-day bliss…The text and illustrations work together wonderfully to convey the sights and sounds of a snowy day, as well as the magic and excitement inherent to these unplanned days off of school. A spirited paean to the snow day that will appeal to children and their parents.” —Booklist “A nighttime snowfall leads to a joyful snow-day dance…Sofia’s yellow-clad figure standing out against the snowy white pages and the sounds she makes in the new snow create a dance-filled nod to Ezra Jack Keats’ classic The Snowy Day (1962)…An exuberant read-aloud extolling the glory of dance and snow days.” —Kirkus Reviews From the Publisher The Snow Dancer is a book that reminds you of the freedom of childhood and the gift of a snow day. A young ballet dancer named Sofia wakes up to find her neighborhood covered in a blanket of snow. As she slips out of the house, the world is silent and waiting. The reader crunches and sloshes through the snow along with Sofia as she dances across the wintry landscape—and finds a giant white untouched field at the neighborhood park. Sofia owns that snowy stage for a few moments, dancing triumphantly across the page. But soon a group of kids shows up, and an epic snowball fight breaks out. Sofia and a friend battle it out against the other kids...until all the children collapse in a perfect, tired heap. I love how this book pulses with the infectious energy of kids and highlights the special way that children embrace the world around them.
