Bookroo's summary

As winter approaches, three kittens dread the unknown chill of snow, while their adventurous sibling eagerly anticipates the frosty transformation. Will curiosity conquer fear, or will the cold prove too daunting? This gentle tale explores the balance between apprehension and excitement, celebrating the courage to embrace the unfamiliar.

From the publisher

Four kittens have never seen the snow. The first three kittens are wary–snow is cold, it’s wet, it covers everything. This unknown thing called snow is a little bit. . . scary. As the seasons pass and winter begins to loom, the three skittish kittens worry. But the fourth kitten takes a different view. The fourth kitten is getting excited. Snow will cover everything?! I can’t wait! Caldecott Medal winner Eric Rohmann gives us a charming, gentle story that both respectfully acknowledges a child’s fear of the unknown and celebrates the power of a positive outlook. Deceptively simple and quietly profound.
