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 illustrations 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.

"A warm, comforting story with a wintry backdrop... A fine selection for teachers requesting picture books on the senses and a natural for reading aloud before the season’s first snowfall." --Booklist, starred review.
"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." --School Library Journal
"Readers will savor this calm, kind, and loving moment between a granddaughter and her grandma." --Kirkus Reviews
"Just right for winter reading." --Publishers Weekly
"Forges new ways to think about intergenerational, intercultural connections." --Horn Book
This cries out for a choral performance of the snow sounds, and it might prompt librarians to bring out Perkins’ classic Snow Music." --BCCB

And the pictures are wonderful. The story has a great build up, and the cross cultural connections made us feel seen. Highly recommend as an addition for everyone's libraries.

The illustrations not only capture the magic and wonder of snow, but they complement the beautiful relationship between Lina and Sitta. This book has our family anxiously waiting for the first snow of the season.
