Snow Day
November's picture book of the month is Snow Day, a heart-warming and very snowy winter tale from award-winning writer and director Richard Curtis and winner of the Waterstones Best Picture Book Prize, Rebecca Cobb.
A snowy day, a deserted school and the teacher you least want to see. Welcome to Snow Day, the most magical day of the year . . .
When Danny goes to school one quiet, snowy morning, the last thing he expects to find is a deserted school and his least favourite teacher. But that's exactly what he does find. And what starts as the worst day imaginable, ends as the most life-affirming and magical day of the year.
