Originally published in 2012 as 첫눈, and then translated into English in 2016, First Snow is author/illustrator Bomi Park's debut picture-book.

Mostly black and white and shades of gray, with some limited color accents - the girl's red scarf, and the red hats and scarves of the other children - the artwork here skillfully captures the wonder of the nighttime vista, and the enchantment of the first snowfall of the season. I loved the overall aesthetic of the book, with its quiet sense of wonder, and I appreciated some of the little details as well, particularly the little puppy that follows the girl on her nighttime adventure. Recommended to picture-book readers looking for winter-time picture-books for younger children, perhaps six years and under.
