Customer Reviews

A sweet little book

The back story on Robert's Snowflakes is very sweet. It was a wonderful idea that I was hoping to adapt for some classes where I work. The illustrations are, of course, amazing. It is always fun to see how various artists interpret a single concept.

Beautiful

I am so happy I bought this book. The concept behind it is beautiful. I also purchased Robert's Snow (Grace Lin) for my class (and daughter). I'm hoping next winter we can use both books in a more extended experience. LOVE IT!

Wonderful

The snowflakes created by children's book illustrators to raise money for cancer research are breathtakingly beautiful. I was lucky enough to purchase an actual snowflake in last year's auction, and spent much time online looking at all of the snowflakes, wising I could buy them all! I was delighted when the snowflakes were published in a book. When I got the book I was a wee bit disappointed to realize that only a portion of the snowflakes made the book (and alas, not the one I purchased), but it is still a gorgeous book with very clear reproductions of the artwork. If you are a children's book lover, an art lover, or simply want to support a cause to raise money for cancer research, you will enjoy this book.
