Description: On a day when snow is falling heavily, Yui has to walk home alone. As the snow keeps piling up unexpectedly, the bus never comes, and her hands and feet grow colder and colder. She grows afraid that she might turn into an ice pop, but thanks to the kindness of a few people who help her without expecting anything in return, she safely makes it home. The simplified characters and light, gentle brushstrokes make the illustrations warm and endearing.
