The September 15, 2009 issue of Booklist features a review of Nancy White Carlstrom's Mama, Will It Snow Tonight?

Anyone familiar with young children will recognize their tendency to ask the same question over and over again, which can be either annoying or endearing. In this case, it’s the latter … the text’s quiet tone complements perfectly the images of a snug farm, a deep blue wintry sky, and the three sets of loving mothers and children going about their business. This simple, beautiful portrayal of anticipation answers young children’s desire for reassurance as well as information.
