From chapters.ca:"What is snow?" Araba, a Ghanaian child, asks her Canadian pen pal. The response unfolds as a letter in poetry, rich in lyricism and in what author Sheree Fitch would call "lip slipperiness." Janet Wilson's glowing pastel illustrations revel in all the sensory experiences, the colour, associated with the cold white stuff. Through the asking and the telling, two children reach halfwayaround the world and touch one another.
