This book is about learning about snow and all the fun activities you can do in the snow. You could read this book during the seasons changing between winter and fall or after the first snowfall of the year. For an activitym the students could create their own snowman or tell stories of their

personal experience with snow.

Stella and Sam (her brother?) play outside in the snow. I'm not sure why Sam, who seems old enough to construct intelligible questions, has never seen snow before. Stella answers all his questions about the snow and cold, and even tells him that dogs don't get cold. What the?! The snow angels

singing at the end is a bit weird also. Not worthy of a public library collection.

This could be used in a classroom while talking about the seasons or even within an English classroom when discussing different types of figures of speech. This book uses a lot of metaphors as Stella gives her own personal take on Winter. It's a delightful story that children would enjoy. The

illustrations are marvelous.

Stella, an adventurous red head with a wonderful sense of humour introduces her little brother Sam, to his first snow storm in Marie-Louise Gay’s “Stella Queen of the Snow.” Sam would prefer to look at it from inside the house, asked his sister if snow is cold, hard and icy. Sam has a lot of

questions which enables Stella to give him her version of snow and winter. After the first reading (to a 28 year old child) I decided Sam was a wimp, and he is to a certain extent, but on my second reading I realized that Sam plays an important role in telling the story of snow. I was, and still am, dazzled by Stella’s red curls and long ago memories of another little girl with curly red hair girl.
I selected this as a Secret Santa book (2012) for a woman in Greenland who told me she wanted to rush out and play in the snow.
