Designed for toddlers (2 years and under): a deliberately short, very simple and reassuring story.

Lily looked out the window. “Snow!” she said. The world was white.

“Yay!” said Mommy. “Let's play!”

Lily put on her warm coat. “I want my hat!” she said.

Mommy helped her. “Here's your hat, Lily!”

Lily put on her mittens. “I'm ready!” she cheered.

Outside, the snow was soft and fluffy. “Look, Mommy!” Lily pointed. “Snowflakes!”

“They are pretty!” Mommy smiled.

Lily stepped in the snow. “Crunch, crunch!” she giggled.

“Let's make a snowman!” Mommy said.

Lily clapped her hands. “Yes! A big snowman!”

They rolled big snowballs. “This one is for the body!” said Mommy.

“And this one is for the head!” said Lily.

They stacked the snowballs high. “It's so tall!” Lily laughed.

“Now, let's give him a hat!” Mommy said. They found a red hat.

“Snowman has a hat!” Lily squealed.

“Let's give him buttons!” Mommy added.

Lily found round pebbles. “Here are the buttons!” she exclaimed.

“Perfect!” Mommy said. “Now he's happy!”

Lily smiled. “I love winter! It's fun!”

“Yes, it is!” Mommy agreed.

They hugged their snowman. “Goodbye, snowman!” Lily waved.

“See you tomorrow!” Mommy smiled.

Winter was wonderful!
