Blessing is sad - her mother is depressed because even though it is March there is no sign of spring and Blessing is afraid that she will be placed in foster care again. Also, the Driplet Triplets have been making her life miserable. Blessing decides to write a letter to school saying they are moving to Australia, so now Blessing can skip school every day. Wandering the park one day, she sees a snowman frolicking and she stumbles upon Albert and the Snowman Code - part of which involves helping children in trouble. Maybe Blessing can help Albert, too. Albert has been looking for his lost love - every year snowmen are reborn in new places, so they haven’t found each other for 600 years. Rumor is that Clementine is right here in NYC.
I found Albert absolutely adorable. He has some mixed up ideas about the world, but it is from a snowman’s point of view. I would love to read this to a 2, 3, 4th grade class.
