author-illustrator of #cbadspotlight pick 
A BIG BED FOR LITTLE SNOW
and also The Ugly Vegetables, Dim Sum for Everyone!, Bringing in the New Year,
& Caldecott Honor book A Big Mooncake for Little Star
43885033. sx318
A companion to the Caldecott Honor book A Big Mooncake for Little Star!


A heartwarming and tender picture book introducing readers to their first snow, from award-winning, bestselling author-illustrator Grace Lin.


When it was quiet, Little Snow grinned and then jumped, jumped, jumped! 
Little Snow loves the new big, soft bed Mommy made him for the long, cold winter nights. But Mommy says this bed is for sleeping, not jumping! What happens when he can’t resist jump, jump, jumping on his new fluffy, bouncy bed?
Bestselling and award-winning author Grace Lin artfully introduces young readers to their first snow through striking illustrations and heartwarming moments. 


Thank you, Grace, for joining me for a #cbadspotlight video today!
