Stella takes her little brother Sam out into the snow. As usual, he is full of questions (and some apprehension); she is ready with the answers and eager to explore and reassure. Text and pictures show their complementary personalities - Sam cautious and dreamy, the little one who brings up the rear, Stella the confident, let's-get-out-and-do-it frontrunner who nevertheless respects Sams's need to understand the world imaginatively before he enters it.
Full of tender humour and delight in the physical world, this story is not just about encountering snow for the first time, but also about relationships - between older and younger siblings, leader and follower, dreamer and doer.
