A snowy day, with room for different preferences

Bitsy Bat’s first snowfall brings a school day full of activities that don’t feel as fun as she expected. Sledding is difficult, and the snow leaves her cold and wet; when she worries that admitting she dislikes it will change how her friends see her, she finds Enzo Owl and Mo seeking warmth and books indoors, too. Paper snowflakes become Bitsy’s idea for enjoying the day on different terms. The story connects an everyday childhood dilemma—feeling pressure to join in—with friendship, honest self-expression, and the freedom to enjoy different things. The publisher describes this third series story as told from an autistic perspective.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 exploring friendship and differences in preferences.
  • Families and educators seeking a picture-book story that explicitly includes an autistic perspective.
  • Fans of the Bitsy Bat series and stories about snowy-day activities.

Book overview

Bitsy Bat experiences her first snow and discovers it's okay for friends to not always like the same things in another charming follow-up to Bitsy Bat, School Starfrom Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor-winning author-illustrator Kaz Windness.

When Bitsy wakes up to see her first-ever snowfall, she's excited to try out wintry activities with her friends at school. But sledding turns out to be harder than she thought, and making snow angels and snowmen leaves her feeling cold and wet. Bitsy tries to pretend she's having fun...until a friendly snowball fight pushes her over the edge.

She retreats inside the school, worried her friends won't like her anymore once they find out she doesn't love the snow like they do. But a surprise is waiting for her--Enzo Owl and Mo are inside too! They don't like snow either and would rather read in the cozy nook. Bitsy comes up with an indoor activity for a snowy day--making paper snowflakes--that just might give her the courage to be honest with her friends.

This third story in the Bitsy Bat series is told from an autistic perspective and celebrates how our differences make each of us shine brightly on our own and among friends.
