Customer Reviews

The Blizzard is a short story with a touching twist.

Poor Billy was disappointed that his midwinter birthday celebration was cancelled due to predictions of snow. His sister Mae always had friends over on her summertime birthday. Events of the day were as unpredictable as the weather. Rejoice with Billy as the day unfolds.

December Babies Rejoice!

A terrific story for December-born children who dread their birthday. My son's bday is dampened every year by a blizzard and this book, although beneath his reading level, brightened his outlook on his upcoming birthday. We decided to have a Blizzard of a Birthday party!
