Blizzard is based on John Rocco''s childhood experience during the now infamous Blizzard of 1978, which brought fifty-three inches of snow to his town in Rhode Island. Told with a brief text and dynamic illustrations, the bookopens with a boyΓÇÖs excitement upon seeing the first snowflake fall outside his classroom window. It ends with the neighborhoodΓÇÖs immense relief upon seeing the first snowplow break through on their street. In between the boy watches his familiar landscape transform into something alien, and readers watch him transform into a hero who puts the needs of others first. John uses an increasing amount of white space in his playful images, which include a gatefold spread of the boy''s expedition to the store. This book about the wonder of a winter storm is as delicious as a mug of hot cocoa by the fire on a snowy day.Praise for Super Hair-o and the Barber of Doom"With a light, humorous touch, Rocco reveals that sometimes the Kryptonite is all in your head."

ΓÇö-Kirkus Reviews (starred review)"The colorful pictures work beautifully with the bookΓÇÖs design.
