About this deal

Upon cleaning out the storage closet in my new classroom, I came across this book today, January 2019. Embroidery machines are marvels of modern crafting technology, transforming simple fabric into intricate, embroidered masterpieces. It was nice pictures with lots of texture and the story is interesting, but even though there is a snowman and Christmas is mentioned I am not sure I can place this as a Christmas book. I would use this to guide discussions in class on themes such as identity, heritage, culture, discrimination and self-esteem.

After they finished building they wanted something warm to put around his shoulders so they found a kente.

The artist sets images in motion and creates situations that, thanks to their instability, contain the seeds of moments of surprise. While the snowman is alive he teaches Jacob about his heritage and the history behind the color of his skin.I just reread this book, pulled to it because of our snowy winter, our discussion regarding ethnic book awards, and my desire to fill my classroom bookshelves with books that work as mirrors for kids who used to look out the windows. Although annoyed, I must say this seller is very professional and refunded my purchase promptly, in a most courteous manner--somewhat remarkably for such a small dollar amount. Peewee, however, wants his brother to think differently, and convinces him to help build a snowman, even if it is made of black slush. My best guess is "Skin of Evil" (S01E23), in which Riker gets absorbed by what could be described compactly as a sludge monster and is later spat out covered in Metamucil and printer ink.

Jacob tells the snowman how he feels about being black and the snowman tells him why he thinks he is wrong. The liquid is a gleaming black, its surface reflective like a mirror; with a view to the political situation, the flat image framed by the box, too, fuses the social and economic situation.To add the final touch, Jacob’s brother, Peewee, finds a colorful cloth in the trash that he turns into a scarf.

The snowman uses the magical kente to lead Jacob inside the burning building so that he can save his brother. The artist loves to make snowmen: to create this work, he made a black silhouette of a snowman which he then photographed on location in the park. The Black Snowman" is about a little boy, Jacob, who hates being black and does not understand the significance his heritage. You may want to use concrete objects, such as items handed down in the family, to help prompt memories. The author brings the issue of racial discrimination to light and gives a different perspective to the reader.

This story centers on Jacob, a young African American boy who does not understand his culture and heritage. Jacob is still unconvinced so the snowman visits him that night and shows him many images of strong, brave Africans who should make Jacob proud of his heritage.
