Overview
While trudging through deep snow in a neighborhood park, a young boy is suddenly hit with a strong wind that grabs his coat and lifts him into the air. As the young boy is soaring over familiar sites—a bridge over a frozen river, a baseball field, and an amusement park—he gains a new perspective, escaping from the routine of everyday life. But when the boy returns to the safety of his home, he is left wondering: Was it all just a marvelous dream?
Myron Uhlberg’s story is based in part on his own childhood memories of the Great Blizzard of 1947. An author’s note at the back of the book provides details about the snowstorm and places this fantasy in its historical context. Illustrator Gerald Fitzgerald’s two-page, gently softened illustrations beautifully evoke the story’s nostalgia and dreamlike quality.
