New Children's Picture Books

In this gem of a picture book from the author of Someday, a little boy happily builds a snowman after the season's first snowstorm. He dresses his frozen friend in his favorite hat, and grows to dearly love the snowman. But snow isn't forever. The wind shifts, the weather warms, and eventually, the snowman will be gone. But where does he go?

Though time passes and seasons change, the boy learns that the snowman will always be with him--in the spring fog, in the summer rain, in the fall frost, in a new winter's snow--and, always, in his heart. Because, as readers are reassured in the gentle refrain, "What you love will always be with you."On sale: 10.04.11
