Abby and Liam and the Snowball Adventure by Kristen Puma is colorfully illustrated by Aaron R. His drawings have such an “up north” ambiance to them. It’s thrilling to see the images of the neighborhood’s houses and trees heavy with snow. You can practically feel the chill and imagine your own puffing breaths of cold air. I found the adventure with Abby and Liam, their parents, and the snowmen to have a unique flavor and attitude. One of the things I liked best about this story is that it involves the whole family. It shows children who enjoy playing games and having fun with their parents and parents who feel the same way about doing such things with their children. From start to finish, the whole family is a team. I found this aspect to be quite refreshing in a children’s story. Thank you, Kristen Puma, for your entertaining, family-oriented book.
