A small snowflake gathers momentum

A snowflake’s tumble from mountaintop to valley sets off a chain of encounters with Field Mouse, Rabbit, and other woodland creatures. The cascading action gives this winter picture book its organizing idea: a tiny beginning grows into a much larger commotion, with winter activities woven into the scenes. The description also points to resilience as a theme, framing the snowball’s journey as a lesson in bouncing back when events feel overwhelming. Its closing image turns the buildup back into individual snowflakes, bringing the story’s expanding motion to a natural stopping point.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy picture books about woodland animals
  • Young readers interested in winter scenes, snow, and seasonal activities
  • Families seeking a story that introduces resilience through a playful snowballing chain of events

Book overview

Tumble down the mountainside with woodland creatures in this wonderfully out-of-control celebration of winter.

A snowflake lands on a mountaintop. It flips and flops, tumbling down into the valley below. First it rolls over Field Mouse, then Rabbit. And that's when things really begin to snowball.

With hilarious, brightly colored twists and turns from author Nicole Castrovinci and illustrator Vivian Mineker, Snowballed is a wonderfully out-of-control celebration of winter. Packed with adorable woodland creatures and winter activities, this picture book is a lesson in what happens when life runs you over and how you can bounce back with positivity.

Because when the snowball finally stops? It turns into a million snowflakes!

Field mouse decorates a tree.

She squints and says, "What's that I see?"

Here comes snowflake. Rumble, rumble.

There goes field mouse. Tumble, tumble.
