The vocabulary in this book is wonderful! The dialogue is natural and realistic as with other Peck books. It touches on religious ideas, but only presents them as possible explanations, it does not preach a particular belief. I like that the book makes connections between ideas in religions and in nature, it forces the reader to question things. I used this book as a read aloud to fourth graders. It can be read in one class period.

Read this book today, “The Friendly Snowflake.” Peck addresses the miracle of Serendipity and illustrates how a person’s perspective (attitude) toward the unseeingly unnoticed miracles in our everyday life can create inner peace. Through his illustration of tiny snowflakes and big snowflakes he delineates between members of the family (the individual) and the larger family unit (brothers, sisters, mother, father, etc as the whole). Then through successive lines of questioning, the reader is allowed to see the intellectual debate unfold and reinforces the notion that just because you can’t see something or scientifically prove it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist or that it’s any less a miracle. He sets up the debate by addressing the concept of reincarnation, a religious Hindu belief, with an intellectual debate between believer and non-believer. He reinforces the skill of debate verses senseless arguing without any coherent constructive communication. And finally, he illustrates the interconnectedness of life through the rain cycle of water and bodies of water (brooks, streams, rivers to oceans) and then makes a comparison to the veins that flow from the heart, arteries, veins, capillaries. In the end the reader realizes we are all interconnected on this giant rock we call Earth. Two Thumbs Up! Also a great gift to give at Christmas with materials needed and instructions for making your own borax snowflake.

I loved this book as a kid and love its innocent simplicity still. I love how the author never attempts to reason away or change Jenny's beliefs, but instead accepts her childlike faith.

This was the perfect book to read on this snowy weekend. ❄️ This is an adorable story about a young girl’s relationship with a snowflake, who she names Harry. This is about her friendship with Harry and what she learns about her life because of Harry. It touches on connection, souls, and reincarnation. It’s a little celebration of all the good things in life. The perfect book to read for my first book of 2024!
