When Will moved to South Carolina, with his parents, I was sad to think he wouldnt have the opportunity to enjoy winter and snow and snowmen. And then this winter, it actually snowed a couple of times for him. It must have had something to do with the creation of the book. He was delighted to be able to play in the snow, if only briefly. As you read the book, I hope you, too, will enjoy the wonders of winter, with Will.
