Content: " A snowy day, a trip to grandma's, time spent cooking with one another, and space to pause and discover the world around you come together in this perfect book for reading and sharing on a cozy winter day. One winter morning, Lina wakes up to silence. It's the sound of snow the kind that looks soft and glows bright in the winter sun. But as she walks to her grandmother's house to help make the family recipe for warak enab, she continues to listen. As Lina walks past snowmen and across icy sidewalks, she discovers ten ways to pay attention to what might have otherwise gone unnoticed. With stunning illustration by Kenard Pak and thoughtful representation of a modern Arab American family from Cathy Camper, Ten Ways to Hear Snow is a layered exploration of mindfulness, empathy, and what we realize when the world gets quiet."

Content: Rezension(1): "〈a href=http://www.kirkusreviews.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/kirkus_logo.png alt=Kirkus border=0 /〉〈/a〉: August 15, 2020 On her way to her grandmother's, Lina counts the ways she hears snow. Lina is excited to tell Sitti about the snowstorm and is looking forward to making warak enab with her. Sitti is losing her eyesight, and Lina enjoys cooking with Sitti in her room at the assisted living facility. Bundled up and walking in the snow, Lina thinks about how her grandma must feel, listening to how the world sounds. Scraaape, scrip, scraaape, scrip, is the sound of Mrs. Watson's shovel,Snyak, snyek, snyuk, tread Lina's boots. She sees people brushing off their cars and her friends Rachid and Mariam building a snowman. At Sitti's, her grandmother instructs Lina how to stuff the grape leaves with the rice and lamb mixture and to roll them up, vignettes showing the different steps. They also have fun afterward, comparing them to little grape leaf cocoons and pretending they are mustaches. Using soft, clear, and calming colors, Pak portrays the neighborhood in the aftermath of the snowstorm, visually interpreting the variety of noises and activities the community partakes in. His quiet compositions complement Camper's words, which beautifully evoke the experience: The world sounded softer, but the noises [Lina] heard were clear. Lina's family seems to be Middle Eastern in origin--her father calls her the Arabic endearment habibti--and they all have brown skin. Both the neighborhood and the assisted living home are racially diverse. (This book was reviewed digitally with 9-by-21-inch double-page spreads viewed at 57.3% of actual size.) Readers will savor this calm, kind, and loving moment between a granddaughter and her grandma. (Picture book. 3-8) COPYRIGHT(2020) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

A blizzard has ended, and Lina heads to visit her grandmother, Sitti. As she considers Sitti’s diminishing eyesight en route, Lina realizes that snow is not just seen, but heard, and starts to list its different sounds: the “scraaape scrip” of a snow shovel, the “ploompf” of snow dislodged by a bluejay, the “drip, drip” of mittens drying. At Sitti’s apartment, the two make warak enab (grape leaves stuffed with rice and lamb), assembling the rolls and joking as they go: “Mine looks like a mustache!” Lina says, holding a roll under her nose. How does Sitti knows that it has snowed? “Each morning I open the window and listen,” Sitti tells the girl, and her sharp hearing supplies the final item on Lina’s list. Deliberately paced, peppered with sound words, and centered around a close-knit family’s routines and meals, this story by Camper (the Lowriders in Space series) is just right for winter reading. Ages 4–8.

There's enough to blanket the town but not enough to keep her from visiting Sitti, her grandmother, who is losing her eyesight. Walking through the neighborhood toward Sitti's retirement building, Lina listens for different sounds associated with snow and counts eight, from the scraaape, scrip of a snow shovel clearing the sidewalk to the thwomp of a snowball hitting its target. In her grandmother's apartment, they make Lebanese stuffed grape leaves. While eating them together, Lina hears the ninth sound, melted snow dripping from her mittens. She's surprised to learn that Sitti already knows about the snowfall. That morning, she opened the window and sensed it. How? Quiet is the tenth way to hear snow. Camper's well-worded text creates a warm, comforting story with a wintry backdrop. The narrative and the illustrations portray an amiable Arab American family and, especially, the loving, playful relationship between granddaughter and grandmother. In Pak's spare, beautiful digital artwork, the clean lines and restrained use of color encourage viewers to focus on the main characters, their perceptions, and their strong kinship. A fine selection for teachers requesting picture books on the senses and a natural for reading aloud before the season's first snowfall.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2020, American Library Association.) " Rezension(4): "〈a href=http://www.slj.com/ target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/schoollibraryjournal_logo.png alt=School Library Journal border=0 /〉〈/a〉: Starred review from December 1, 2020K-Gr 3- Perhaps only someone who has lived in a snowy place and loved it would find 10 ways to hear snow. This poetic undertaking is as simple as a walk to a grandparent's home and, ultimately, just as heartwarming. Lina hears a muffled sound, first in the morning when no one is moving after a blizzard the day before, a thwomp when the snow falls off a branch that sways under the weight, and the scrape of shovels as sidewalks are cleared. She wonders if Sitti, her grandmother, will know that it has snowed, and goes to tell her, and to make stuffed grape leaves, a Lebanese favorite. But the 10th way to hear snow is its quiet, and Sitti, who cannot see well, is well aware of the blizzard's aftermath. Camper's straightforward telling is imbued with lyrical moments: Outside, the late blue afternoon was completely still perfectly describes the color and cast of the day's blanketed scenery. Lina's skin is light brown, and her hair is black,her parents, too, have similar coloring, he with a moustache and calling her the Arabic endearment habibti. The inclusion of that and a few other Arabic words is seamless. In muted pastel colors, with foamlike blocks of snow lining branches, roofs, and hedges, Pak re-creates the sculptured effect of snow-that it covers the landscape, and in doing so, highlights it: eyebrows of white over windows, bumps where there had been bushes, drifts scattershot up the trunks of trees. VERDICT Not since Ezra Jack Keats in Snowy Day and Karen Gundersheimer in Happy Winter has snow been so lovingly depicted, in a counting game for children in all seasons.- Kimberly Olson Fakih , School Library Journal Copyright 2020 School Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.

Rezension(2): "〈a href=http://www.slj.com/ target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/schoollibraryjournal_logo.png alt=School Library Journal border=0 /〉〈/a〉: February 1, 2020Gr - Lowry recounts her memories of being a child in Hawaii and her experience of moving to Tokyo when she was 11. Her personal experiences serve as the narrative foundation that eulogizes the many lives lost in two of World War II's tragic events: the bombing of Pearl Harbor and Hiroshima. This series of beautiful, moving, and sometimes horrifying poems gives a voice to the young men on the USS Arizona and offers an equally moving tribute to the survivors of Hiroshima. A brief introduction explains the author's presence in Hawaii and recounts the bombing of Pearl Harbor, followed by the poems of survivors as well as those who died. The poems are touching but also very specific and sometimes graphic. One discusses the captain of the Arizona and how his ring from the Naval Academy was found melted and fused to a mast of the ship. Poems about those who experienced Hiroshima are equally graphic but certainly just as compelling. The second half of the book provides a brief explanation about the bombing of Hiroshima followed by the poems. The final section depicts Lowry's experiences living in Tokyo. The author shares her hope for the future and stresses the interconnectedness of humanity. VERDICT While not an essential purchase, Lowry offers a unique view of Pearl Harbor and Hiroshima in an unusual format that could be useful for the classroom. Teachers looking for different approaches to history could use this title to highlight the differences and similarities that perspective brings to history.- Susan Lissim, Dwight School, New York CityCopyright 2020 School Library Journal, LLC Used with permission. " Rezension(3): "〈a href=http://www.kirkusreviews.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/kirkus_logo.png alt=Kirkus border=0 /〉〈/a〉: February 1, 2020 In spare verse, Lowry reflects on moments in her childhood, including the bombings of Pearl Harbor and Hiroshima. When she was a child, Lowry played at Waikiki Beach with her grandmother while her father filmed. In the old home movie, the USS Arizona appears through the mist on the horizon. Looking back at her childhood in Hawaii and then Japan, Lowry reflects on the bombings that began and ended a war and how they affected and connected everyone involved. In Part 1, she shares the lives and actions of sailors at Pearl Harbor. Part 2 is stories of civilians in Hiroshima affected by the bombing. Part 3 presents her own experience as an American in Japan shortly after the war ended. The poems bring the haunting human scale of war to the forefront, like the Christmas cards a sailor sent days before he died or the 4-year-old who was buried with his red tricycle after Hiroshima. All the personal stories--of sailors, civilians, and Lowry herself--are grounding. There is heartbreak and hope, reminding readers to reflect on the past to create a more peaceful future. Lowry uses a variety of poetry styles, identifying some, such as triolet and haiku. Pak's graphite illustrations are like still shots of history, adding to the emotion and somber feeling. He includes some sailors of color among the mostly white U.S. forces,Lowry is white. A beautiful, powerful reflection on a tragic history.

Lowry uses that personal lens to view two horrific acts of war: the bombing of Pearl Harbor by Japan and the atomic destruction of Hiroshima by the U.S. In a slim volume, a variety of poetic forms convey details about people whose lives were lost or forever changed: 37 sets of brothers were aboard the USS Arizona , where 1,177 people died,a four-year-old Japanese boy in Hiroshima was buried with his beloved red tricycle. The book’s structure makes the events feel like equivalent tragedies, which may trouble some readers, since both were acts of war, but the U.S. bombed noncombatants. A third section details Lowry’s experiences living in postwar Japan,some remembrances lighten the otherwise somber mood, including one surprise about Lowry’s childhood encounter with a boy who would also go on to become a luminary in children’s literature. Part memoir, part history, this is a powerful reminder that damage done will be remembered for many decades to come. Black-and-white illustrations by Pak have the feeling of vintage photographs.

What makes the poems special and so relatable for young audiences is how they overlap with Lowry's childhood experiences. As a toddler on Oahu, Hawaii, she played in the sand as the Arizona floated in the background. As a girl living in postwar Japan, she crossed paths with a boy who had witnessed the strike on Hiroshima. These moments, specific to Lowry and the boy?who became children's author Allen Say?bookend other vivid moments defining the lives of those involved in either tragedy. The story of Captain Kidd and other sailors aboard the battleship is the focus of the first series of poems, mirroring the second section, which covers a Japanese boy and his bicycle, as well as Sadako and her origami cranes. Part three brings Lowry to postwar moments and to the present, when she visits memorials for the Arizona and Hiroshima. Pak's illustrations likewise focus on simple moments, items, and portraits. The effect is deeply felt and emotive, not about sides but about people, and it's sure to lead readers to think deeply on these dual tragedies of war. A must for all collections. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Any new project from two-time Newbery Medal-winner Lowry is big news, and this turn to poetry?supported by an author tour?is sure to intrigue.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2020, American Library Association.)

Here is a celebration of the unique bond between grandparents and grandchildren. Maud loves the weekends when she stays at her grandma's house. There's always breakfast for supper, matching nightgowns, black-and-white movies, and--best of all--someone to listen to her dreams for her life as a grown-up.

Best of all is when Maud finds something that belonged to Grand-Maud when she was a little girl. In this story of family togetherness, Maud wants to be just like Grand-Maud when she grows up.

When he catches a snake, the snake makes a bargain. If Cat spares his life, the snake will grant Cat's wish. Cat replies, No such thing as a wish, but he releases the snake anyway. Wiggling away, the snake promises Cat three wishes. Still hungry and unconvinced, Cat wishes for a Fish--and his wish is granted. As it starts to rain, Cat's wet and still unconvinced, but he wishes for a house. Soon Cat's curled up before the fireplace in his very own house. Waking up alone in the dark house, Cat still pooh-poohs wishing, but nevertheless, he wishes for a friend--with unexpected results. The spare text relies on clever placement of onomatopoeic words such as rustle, pad, splash, burp, plop, sniff, and shuff, to effectively convey Cat's sensory world. Soft-edged illustrations in pale watercolor washes and digital media visually portray Cat's environment, emphasizing his solitary condition as he stalks, crouches, coils, pounces, pads, and runs on whisper feet across the atmospheric double-page spreads. His expressive face and body tell their own story.A gentle, feel-good feline fantasy. (Picture book. 4-7) COPYRIGHT(2018) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Yet the next three things Cat wishes for—something to eat, shelter from the rain, a friend—mysteriously appear, and the cat’s sideways glances signal that his doubts may be shifting. The friend who arrives turns out to have had a trio of wishes granted herself,some kind of mysterious intervention has brought the two together. Illustrations by Pak ( Goodbye Autumn, Hello Winter ) recall the work of Jon Klassen with their emphasis on contours rather than on mass or volume, creating a world with shifting veils of translucent color. Brill ( Tugboat Bill and the River Rescue ) writes with crisp economy, using sound and sense words effectively (“Shuff, shuff, shuff came a footstep”). Her story fulfills its characters’ deepest yearning with quiet magic—one that readers might find for themselves, she hints, if they believed there were such things as wishes. Ages 4–7.

Cat remains skeptical even after its wish for a fish delivers several. No such thing as a wish, Cat repeats just as a wish for a house in which to shelter from the rain produces a fine little house with a toasty fireplace. Curled asleep before that fire, the tabby suddenly awakens and, alone and frightened in the dark house, wishes for a friend. In walks a little girl who has also met Snake and been granted three similar wishes. Cat and girl, now nestled cozily together, become the answer to one another's third wish-a friend. Pak's watercolor and digital media illustrations are executed in a predominately brown and gray palette, making his spare use of color all the more striking. From eyes lowered and paw raised to wipe off the remains of a fish dinner, to ears sticking straight out, body stretched across a spread as it catches a whiff of a blazing hearth, striped Cat's every expression belies the repeated conviction it expresses right to the end when, purring contentedly in Girl's lap, it maintains, No such thing as a wish. VERDICT Readers will enjoy knowing what Cat refuses to admit: wishes do come true.

Content: On a summer night, the world is still. Even the crickets think it’s too hot to sing. But all at once, a girl wakes. In the kitchen, the cat rolls onto its soft paws. A neighbor’s small white dog yaps, a brown rabbit peeks from a hedge, and the leaves of a cherry tree begin to stir in the breeze. Readers witness and wonder: Who has woken them all? In this soothing bedtime story, the quiet of a warm summer night is brought to vivid, magical life with the soft steps of bare feet, the padding of paws, and the bright, golden light of the moon. One by one, each creature is roused and then gently returned to sleep in a lovely and lyrical exploration of wakefulness, restfulness, and the mysterious calm of the night.
