Inspired by Sky and Light in Sam Usher's "Snow"

Hello, "Snow"! I like what Sam Usher has done here...
  • I like the contrasting paces of the dash-and-go boy and his take-it-slow grandpa.
  • I like Grandpa in his bathrobe, lingering in front of a magnifying mirror, probably trimming unwanted hairs before he'll agree to set foot out the door.
  • I like the broad blank expanses of tantalizing snow as the boy peeks out the door, anxious to put his footprints on it.
  • I like the Quentin Blake-esque lines and figures--loose, and packed with scribbled motion.
  • I LOVE the watery blue sky dappled with white light. It looks like watercolors touched with a wet brush.
  • I like this story, in which a boy tries to get his grandpa out the door in time to experience a fresh snowfall. Grandpa, of course, holds up the show. But it turns out that what happens next was well worth the wait.
