SNOW, SNOW Poems by Jane Yolen Photographs by Jason Stemple Boyds Mills 1998 ISBN# 1-56397-721-4 Boyds Mills hardcover ISBN# 1-59078-346-8 Boyds Mills paperback

After graduating from Western State College of Colorado, I worked for several years as a ski photographer. Spending every day in the snowy mountains for five months at a time, you either develop a love for snow or you move south. The body of work I gathered quickly turned into a third collaboration with my mother (notice the water theme runs throughout the series). My favorite spread is Mountain Painter; I can still feel the crisp cool air when I look at that page.

 See Jane Yolen's description of this book.

     Available in the hardcover and paperback.

What reviewers have said: "With easy grace, Yolen pens poetic lines to accompany Stemple's lovely photographs."-School Library Journal.

"Inspired by her son's crisp, frosty photography, Yolen has produced fourteen crisp, frosty poems. They're a sparkling collection, deft but clear, on various aspects of the wintry world."-Bulletin for the Center of Children's Books.
