A Letter from the Snow

Six-year-old Emily receives many winter letters—from her mitten lost in the snow, marshmallows “in a dark corner of the top cupboard,” a gray crayon that feels “very left out,” her favorite stuffed animal, Lambie, and more. Each writer has its own voice. For a read-aloud, the listener enjoys guessing who is speaking. Is it Lambie? Is it a fox? Is it an icicle? Is it the snow? Seventeen letters in all.
