Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Just outside my window,
There are tracks in the snow.
Who made the tracks? Where do they go?
A little girl follows tracks outside her window after a fresh snowfall, only to realize that the tracks in the snow are her own from the day before—and that they lead her home. This diminutive and sweet picture book is as cozy as a cup of hot chocolate. Like Ezra Jack Keats’ The Snowy Day, this lovely celebration of snow and winter is just right for the littlest readers.

I bought this book because of a memory of making tracks in the snow with my own grandfather many years ago. My 2 kids (4 & 6) listened attentively and were in "suspense" until the end. They spontaneously repeated the recurring lines with me ("Tracks in the snow, Tracks in the snow, Where did they come from? Where do they go?") and were tickled by the ending (the girl realizes the tracks are her own). Very sweet, simple story. Recommended!

The front cover illustration of Tracks in the Snow shows a small child bundled up in the winter snowscape, with a friendly squirrel and blackbird in attendance and a small fox coming out of the evergreens to play. There are soft snow tracks all around, the kind made by tiny boots in a fresh soft, cottony snow that has fallen during a winter's day that is not too cold, but pleasant and invigorating.
The child in the story goes outside with her animal friends and searches among fresh snow tracks for the maker of these footsteps. She wonders whom she will find at their end. The soft illustrations provide a comfortable setting for the story and a feeling of safety and happiness. Blackbird, squirrel and fox accompany her on her searching, but she simply cannot find the animal that has made those footprints in the fresh snow. Blackbird seems to coach her onward, and may be laughing a bit as well, with his upraised wings, like a cheerleader.
The tiny girl does not find the maker of the tracks, but she does find a lost mitten that matches her own scarf. Blackbird accompanies her all the way home as a light snowfall begins and reaches the afternoon time of tea and cookies. Following the same tracks back to the house, the young girl finally realizes that it is she who made the tracks in yesterday's fresh snow.
Young children will enjoy this tale of safe adventure and discovery on one's own, with animal companions and an afternoon snack at the end. Having a snack at the end of a quiet reading time of this story with a parent or older sibling would be a delightful touch.
Armchair Interviews says: A story that gives children a feeling of safety.

Reminiscent of A Snowy Day, an Asian American girl enjoys a day exploring nature in winter. Told in simple rhyme and illustrated with soft and fuzzy "prismacolors on Arches watercolour paper".
