Each of the seasons has its own charm and magic. Not only will these poetic stories develop the imagination of the young reader, they will warm the souls of children and their parents alike. The stories are supplemented with beautiful vintage illustrations by Jan Kudláček. In 2006, author Milena Lukešová received the highly prestigious Czech literary award The Golden Ribbon for her lifelong innovative contribution to literature for children and young people.

„This simple, beautifully conveyed story is an installment in the Poetic Vintage Tales series originally published in the Czech Republic in 1978. The artwork has a vintage European abstractness to it. In a unique choice for a book from 1978, James eschews playing snow forts with the boys and decides to play carnival with the girls, dolling up a parade of snowmen in wigs and makeshift hats. ­A timeless tale about the transformative magic of a ­snowstorm and imaginative play.“ —School Library Journal, Starred Review
