Frances and Millie Play in the Snow

Bowman places his two young friends, one from Kenya and the other from the United States, in a sleep-over one night. The girls wake up in the morning and discover there was a snowstorm overnight. They eat breakfast and talk about what breakfast is like in each country. Then out into the snow they go. They cope with a large snowball rolling off the snowman they are making. And two children playing together will have some tensions to work at creatively, sometimes with adult help. Children naturally enjoy playing, living, and learning cross-culturally when families and society allow them that freedom. Young school-age children will enjoy Bowman's story and cartoon-like illustrations.
