Ruddy loves trucks and computer games and playing outside. Grandmother Silk loves high heels and Masterpiece Theatre. And she doesn’t like noise. Neither of them thinks they have much in common, but when a surprise snowstorm comes howling through, Ruddy and his grandmother are stranded. They have to rely on each other for warmth, comfort, and even entertainment. Soon they discover that all it takes is a little love to melt the ice and kindle a friendship. Carol Fenner’s portrayal of Ruddy and Grandmother’s relationship is full of tenderness and charm, and Amanda Harvey’s illustrations are the perfect finishing touch.
