OVERALL RATING 7/10
Important story, heartwarming, clunky writing
Dancing Through the Snow tells an important story, and I think it is an extremely valuable book to have in childrens' collections. Through this heartwarming story you see Min learn to hope, and eventually to trust. I did find the writing a little clunky, at times changing the subject awkwardly or repeating things that had already been said, which made it harder to feel immersed in the book. Despite this, I would recommend Dancing Through the Snow, because it tells a valuable story.
