Description


A Heartwarming Celebration of Childhood, Friendship, and the Magic of a Snow Day Snow Day is a nostalgic tale about two brothers who miss the news of a school closing—and stumble into something far better than sleeping in or screen time: a day of pure outdoor fun. Joined by neighborhood friends, they head into the snow to play the greatest game in the world—football. Set in the pre-digital 1980s, Snow Day brings readers back to a time when kids played outside until dusk, friendships grew face-to-face, and backyards became stadiums. From stick-ball in the streets to football in the Palko's yard, the story captures the joy and imagination of childhood before handheld electronics. Written by a former professional athlete whose love of the game started in a muddy stretch of grass behind his house, Snow Day encourages today's kids to rediscover the adventure waiting outdoors—yes, even in winter. Perfect for young sports fans, nostalgic parents, and families who love stories that inspire kids to get outside and play.
