Sunny the squirrel is sad when her friend Millie, a marmot, leaves her to hibernate for the winter. One day, Sunny makes a snowman that sings, tells stories, and becomes her friend. Then spring comes, and Fred melts, but Millie awakens and returns. Sunny is happy because she now has two friends -- one for each season. The full-bleed, mixed-media artwork is saturated with color, and the animals, dressed in human clothing, are appealing. The textured backgrounds and rich colors work well to bring the seasons alive, and the animals' faces are quite expressive. This simple story of good-byes and hellos shows just how strong true friendships can be.
