Bookroo's summary

On a snowy winter night, a boy and his father feel the weight of sadness. Seeking solace, they venture out with a red sled, climbing a hill under a crescent moon. As they zoom down, laughter fills the air, lifting their spirits. Returning home, warmed by hot chocolate, they find comfort in each other's company. What begins as a simple sledding trip becomes a heartwarming journey of connection and joy. Will this night change their outlook forever?

From the publisher

A boy and his father share a winter night of sledding. Outside, the crescent moon is shining brightly and the world is covered with snow. Inside, a boy and his father feel sad. So they put on their hats and coats and climb a hill, pulling a red sled. Father and son climb aboard and zoom down the hill under a starlit sky. With their spirits lifted high, they return home for a mug of hot chocolate. Then it’s time for bed. Patricia Thomas’s loving story, affectionately illustrated by Chris L. Demarest, is told with the utmost simplicity.
