Books with title Snow, Snow

Letitia can’t shake her nightmare. Every night on the trip west to her new home in St. Mary, Montana where her parents are setting up a ski resort, she hears a lady singing. Around the dream lady loom crystal chandeliers and dark wooden mahogany panels on the walls. She is sitting at a player piano. The dreams get more and more vivid as the days go on and Letitia gets closer to the snow capped Rocky Mountains. She sees more and more details of the room, the stairs, and other people around the lady at the piano. They are whispering. The whispering gets louder. They seem to be talking about a murder.What do they have to do with her? Her family? Her new home? Whose murder are they talking about? She had better figure it out before she gets there —- or else it might be her demise.

"Snow" is based on [Isaiah 1:18] "Though your sins be as scarlet they shall be as white Snow..."The age is circa 1740.

Charlie is searching for his father, who has been gone for some twenty years. They, including the cub, must go south for a time to reunite Thaddeus Franklin Colbert with his grandparents. As the cougar cub grows so do problems and Charlie must take it back to the mountain, where he nearly dies from Indian battle wounds. It is there that Charlie finds his father.

When the girl brought my bowl she was in and out through the door like she couldn't move fast enough. And when the lock clicked after her I found something she'd left. A knife. And not one for spreading butter, but a sharp one for slitting throats. Locked in a cell by her stepmother, Snow grows small but she still grows. Even so, she's hardly a match for a world gone wild, where the sun has disappeared behind clouds for good. The night the hunter takes her into the forest with orders to cut out her heart, Snow makes him a promise she isn't sure she can keep. And then she runs. Snow's life is no fairytale. As she grows up her path will take her into the mountains, over misty passes, desolate gorges and alpine rivers, as well as to the city, where she will make her case for the return of what is hers. And her childish promise will not be forgotten. A dark and lyrical Snow White retelling set in a post-climate-change world, Snow is a fairytale of the future.

Snow falls all day. Snow falls all week. Snow falls all month! Sammy’s world is a blanket of white. As he clambers up the heaps and mountains of snow, he imagines what might lie beneath — whales and seals, a black bear and her cubs, or could there be elves mining rubies and emeralds? Finally, the weather turns warm and the snow begins to melt, and Sammy finds a green surprise. In this simple, atmospheric book, author Joan Clark and illustrator Kady MacDonald Denton create a paean to that magical substance that enchants the eyes of children in winter.
