A book that benefits from only reading only a few chapters in one session. These micro stories relating to snow could fit snuggly at bedtime as a result. Some stories are more interesting than others, so I struggled in some places to focus

I enjoyed this. I read it in small snippets over a few weeks - easy to do as each entry is only a page or two long. Some really interesting stuff about different countries and cultures, as well as interesting stuff about language. I particularly liked the Japanese snow woman myth and have ended up getting a collection of Japanese ghost stories including that one!

Ah, I really enjoyed this!
Bite-sized histories and information about snow and it’s impact around the world written beautifully and accessibly. It was a fascinating journey to go on.
I thought the purpley-blue font was a refreshing change. It seems like such a small thing but it was neat!
I liked how we also got to feel the impacts of climate change on different ways of life and communities across the world. People don’t seem to understand the knock-on effect that global warming is having and why it’s imperative we make a change now. I fear that the winters of my childhood truly are going to become a thing of the past; it’s heartbreaking when something has such a profound impact in your formative years and gets relegated to memory in a matter of two decades.
I highly recommend this book. It’s got something that everyone can enjoy and I can guarantee that you’ll learn something new.
