A snow kid discovers that identity can change

Twig begins with the familiar ingredients of a snow person, but a lost hat sets off a series of changes that raise a simple, child-friendly question: what makes Twig Twig? The story connects winter imagery with ideas about selfhood, change, and belonging, as Twig encounters other snow people while learning that becoming different does not mean losing every sense of who they are. The seasonal setting gives these questions a concrete picture-book frame, with the transformation itself carrying the story’s central idea.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 exploring questions about identity and change
  • Families seeking a seasonal picture book about belonging
  • Young readers who enjoy imaginative snow-person stories

Book overview

From the New York Times bestselling creator of Not Quite Narwhal, Jessie Sima, comes a "gentle, reassuring" (Publishers Weekly, starred review) wintery picture book about a snow kid finding out what it means to be themself!

Meet Twig, the snow kid! Like all snow kids, Twig was made from many snowflakes, twigs, stones, a crisp orange carrot, and a very fine hat. What a wonderful thing it is to be Twig! Except...could they still be Twig if a strong breeze blows away their hat? As Twig chases after the hat, more things keep changing, and they keep growing and moving and talking. Is there still a way to go back to being Twig?

Maybe not. But maybe there's more than one way to be a snow person, and it can be fun to walk and talk and grow and change. Twig can find snow people like them even as they're still learning how to become Twig, and that's a wonderful thing!
