Who Will Make the Snow? by Taras Prokhasko, Marjana Prokhasko

adventurous hopeful lighthearted reflective relaxing medium-paced

5.0

In a small community that feels a bit like the Hundred Acre Wood, a large family of moles—which called to mind my father’s enormous Catholic family of origin—welcomes a pair of twins.  It is spring, and the book will follow the family through the rest of the seasons with a delightful series of vignettes.  The stories are incredibly charming and wholesome, timeless yet feminist (see Mama Mole).  The illustrations are stunning—unique and unforgettable.  Over the course of a year, the two youngest moles learn so much—namely, how to be brave.  Who Will Make the Snow? is a standout treasure.  Bonus points: it introduced me to both an intriguing Ukrainian writer and an intriguing Ukrainian visual artist.
