This Picture Book is a Celebration of the Snow Day and the Importance of Effort

In this sparkling picture book celebration of winter and creativity, a boy’s snow day efforts show that perfection is relative and what’s important is taking pride in what you do!

When a little boy wakes up to see a blanket of snow covering the world outside, there’s only one thing to do: make a snowman, and not just any snowman—he wants the best snowman ever. But when his perfectly packed and powdery dreams clash with cold, slushy reality, he realizes the best snowman ever may be out of reach…but he can make his best snowman yet.

“No matter how many times I read this book, I laugh and smile through it every time. Jashar Awan’s sense of humor and attention to detail is perfectly executed here, and he’s able to exactly capture the feelings involved in making your first snowman. With art and a story reminiscent of The Snow Day and a lovely growth mindset message, I’m Going to Build a Snowman feels like a classic in the making.”
