第一片雪花從灰藍色的天空中飄落，郵遞員穿上雨靴，農夫去倉庫取雪鏟，警察扣好了大衣，他的妻子檢查藥櫥里的咳嗽藥水，而孩子們則歡呼雀躍、手舞足蹈，用舌尖去捕捉飄落的雪花……故事描繪了從冬天初雪飄落，到春天冰雪融化、萬物復蘇的季節變化，以及小鎮居民舒緩、愜意的日常生活。
When the first flakes fell from the grey sky, the postman and the farmer and the policeman and his wife scurried about doing all the practical things grownups do when a snowstorm comes. But the children laughed and danced, and caught the lacy snowflakes on thier tongues.
All the wonder and delight a child feels in a snowfall is caught in the pages of this book -- the frost ferns on the window sill, the snow man in the yard and the mystery and magic of a new white world. Roger Duvoisin's pictures in soft blue half-tones with briliant splashes of yellow and red emphasize the gaiety and humor as well as the poetic quality of the text.

Down from the North came the quiet white."
"Drifting, sifting, silent flight,
Softly, gently, in the secret night."
These lines open the book and help create the magical mood ofnew-fallen snow.
The postman says that it "looked like snow." He "put on rubbers"to keep his feet dry. But during the storm, he "slipped and fell ina snowbank." The next morning, he "took out his high boots." Whenspring finally came, he walked slowly so he could "enjoy the brightsunshine."
The farmer said it "smelled like snow." He "went to the barn fora snow shovel." With it, he "dug a path . . . to the house." Thenext day, he used the path to the barn and "milked his cows." Inthe spring, he "let his cows out" of the barn for the first timethat year.
The policeman said it "felt like snow." He "buttoned up hiscoat." But he "got his feet wet." He "had a chill and stayed inbed" the next day. When spring came, he "walked in the park."
The policeman's wife said "her big toe hurt." She checked thecupboard to make "sure she had cough mixture." When her husbandreturned from work, she "put a mustard plaster on his chest." Whilehe is ill, she "knits a long woolen scarf for him." In the spring,she digs in her garden.
