The magic of reading is the inspiration for this stunningly illustrated debut in which a little boy takes a long and eventful journey across a snow-bound imaginative landscape. ... The dream-like style of illustration makes this the perfect book for snuggling up with on dark wintry nights – Collingridge is clearly a major talent to look out for in the future.

Beautiful vast snowscapes are the visual backdrop to this magical story.... Captivating and atmospheric.

Picture books have never really appealed to me. Until I saw When It Snows. The paintings. They are absolutely beautiful! The attention to detail, the light and shade and the undeniable talent of Collingridge... it's just breath taking.
