In this sparkling picture book celebration of winter and creativity, a boy’s snow day efforts show that perfection is relative and what’s important is taking pride in what you do!

When a little boy wakes up to see a blanket of snow covering the world outside, there’s only one thing to do: make a snowman, and not just any snowman—he wants the best snowman ever. But when his perfectly packed and powdery dreams clash with cold, slushy reality, he realizes the best snowman ever may be out of reach…but he can make his best snowman yet.

Editorial Reviews

Review

★ "Overall, this is a fun and meaningful read for little ones, though its message about the potential joy that can be found in imperfection is one that will resonate with readers of all ages."

-- Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW

★ "Large readable text is limited to a few words per page, making the vibrantly colored digital illustrations effectively carry the story line forward. Kids will delight in fun onomatopoeia such as “pullll, pushhh, ziiiip, fwump” as the boy gets dressed, and “sssslump” as the snowman starts to tilt over."
-- School Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW

“The sunny protagonist accepts their creation in all its reality, and readers can, too, in this exploration of a maker who gleefully accepts their own work.” -- Publishers Weekly

Full of humor and charm, this is easily my favorite new winter-themed story! On the first snowy day, a young boy has grand plans of making the perfect snowman to share adventures with. His final creation confirms that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that perfect is simply a perspective. Uplifting and playful, this story is a real delight!
