Making a Friend Hardcover - 2011
by Alison McGhee; Marc Rosenthal (Illustrator)
In this gem of a picture book by the author of "Someday," a little boy builds a snowman, but as the seasons change, the snowman will eventually be gone. The boy learns a tender lesson about the seasons of life and love, loss, and love restored. Full color.
Summary
Clean, cold, white snow! Snow for sledding. Snow for catching on your tongue. Snow for making a SNOWMAN! Is there anything as wonderful as SNOW? Is there any better friend than a SNOWMAN? Snow isnâÈçt forever, though. The wind shifts, the weather warms and snow melts into spring. The Snowman has become something elseâÈ'the fog, the rain. But, how can this boy forget his good friend? He doesnâÈçtâÈöand he doesnâÈçt have to.
Bestselling author, Alison McGhee reminds us all that nothing that has been cared for can ever disappear for good, for, âÈêWhat you love will always be with you.âÈë And, this tender story about the power of friendship will stay with readers long after they turn the last page.

Media reviews
With the sparest text and softest watercolors, McGhee and Rosenthal lovingly evoke the pleasures of the seasonâÈçs first snow. A red-capped boy makes a snowman, giving him pebbly eyes, a carrot nose, and finally, his own red hat to wear. When the snow melts, the snowman doesnâÈçt really disappear: he is in the falling water, the rain on the ocean and the fog. He is always with the boy and will always come back in this tender paean to cold weather and enduring friendship.
