This is a story written and illustrated by John Rocco of his adventure's during the blizzard of 1978. He grew up in Rhode Island . Almost 40 inches of snow feel during that storm. They couldn't get out of the front door so they went out the window instead, The family played outside and then went inside to have hot coca made with milk and a warm toasty fire. They were waiting for the snow plow to clear the road.
On the third day, Johns dad shoved out the driving way while still waiting for the snowplow. John and his sister dug tunnels in the snow. Things inside got bed. Their food started to run . And they couldn't walk i n such high snow.
John realized he needed to do something, He made snow shoes out of tennis rackets and then a list of necessities to get from the store. Then he set out.( He took his sled!
Along the way, he checked in with the neighbors to see what they needed, helped build a snow man , and climbed a tree to see what was going on . Finally he made it to the store and got all the things everyone needed.
Then he hurried to go back towards home before it got dark. He dropped off all the items he got for his neighbors. And of course the next morning the snow plow came and cleared the streets.
A great winter read with John's famous illustrations, Students will enjoy the story , and then be prompted to tell their winter storm stories.
