About
Snow Woman Synopsis
When Rupert and Kate tell their parents they're going to make a snowman, both Mum and Dad correct them, You mean a snowperson. Originally published over 30 years ago, this is a deceptively simple story that overthrows gender stereotypes in a wonderfully tongue-in-cheek way that only master storyteller David McKee, the creator of Elmer the patchwork elephant and Mr Benn, could accomplish.
