There are planes to fly and buses to catch, but a small child wishes for a different sort of day. As clouds gather and heavy flakes fall, her invocation rises above the sleeping city. A too-busy world falls silent, and a family revels in the freedom and peace that snow brings. In a spare text that reads as a pure song, and illustrations of astonishingly beautiful scratchboard art, a Newbery Honor-winning author and a Caldecott medalist remind us that sometimes, if spoken from the heart, wishes really can come true.
