Snow Kid by Jessie Sima was another one of those books I almost didn’t read. And then when I finally did read it, I almost didn’t review. You see, I am not the audience for it. Not really. Sure I can recommend it to the parents and grandparents who buy books for children, but it is for them, not the single woman who just adopts all the children as her nieces and nephews. You see, Snow Kid is a book that is simple text and light, soft illustrations. And that audience is the toddler aged who like a quiet book for nap and/or bedtime.
Then again, there is this element to it that is far more mature than that. You see Snow Kid himself is a snowperson. They are small and made in the spirit of Frosty the Snowman. The children build Snow Kid, give them a hat and then off they go to do children things. But this is where Frosty ends and Snow Kid begins. Sure, Snow Kid talks, thinks and moves about but without the children. When the hat flies off due to a gust of wind, Snow Kid goes off in search of it. These Frosty-like adventures are solo, except for when they run into a critter or two, or fall down, rolling and gathering more snow. You see, Snow Kid is changing. They are growing up and maturing. In the search of the missing hat, Snow Kid will find themselves and a community. A community where Snow Kid will meet another Snow Kid and help them on their journey to growing up. 
This part of the story is for the adult reader. Therefore, maybe I was the audience afterall. And hence why I decided to write up a review for it. Plus, though I read via an online reader, it is currently available and you can purchase copies for friends, family and anyone who you think will appreciate how Snow Kid grows.
