下雪日的約定
原本緊繃對立的師生關係
卻在大雪紛飛的下雪日裡，因為彼此的陪伴與分享
融化了冰冷孤單的心，留下最美好的回憶
大雪一直下一直下，今天停課囉！萬歲！
但是，全校最嚴格的崔柏老師，還有最糟糕的學生丹尼，
卻沒收到停課消息，來到了空無一人的學校……
誰也沒想到，下雪日的這一天，
竟然會成為崔柏老師和丹尼這輩子最棒的記憶……
一本讓人敞開心、感受愛的美好繪本
──英國水石童書繪本大獎得主蕾貝卡‧寇柏 + 好萊塢知名編導理察‧柯提斯，繼溫馨感人的《空空的聖誕襪》之後，再度攜手合作的美麗冬天繪本！
──宛如電影般的情節與轉折，帶來滿滿的感動，為下雪的季節增添更多美好想像與氛圍。
今天是下雪日，停課了！大家都不用上學囉！
但是，丹尼和崔柏老師卻出現在校門口。因為他們沒收到停課通知。
噢，這下糟了，他們今天得一起待在學校裡了。
崔柏老師開始上課，丹尼一如往常的發呆、打瞌睡、搖晃椅子……
直到下課時間，丹尼到外頭去堆雪人，崔柏老師竟然開口跟他說話了……
這可是崔柏老師第一次跟丹尼說出｢專心！丹尼！」以外的話。
接下來的時間，兩個人聯手打造了雪人軍團、蓋了雪碉堡，
溜冰、滑雪、打雪仗……他們打從心底感到非常快樂！
這是他們這輩子最棒的一天！
第二天，雪停了，大家回到學校上課。
丹尼一如往常的發呆、打瞌睡、搖晃椅子……
崔柏老師嚴厲無比的對丹尼大吼！
丹尼的內心深處，有一種從未有的悲傷感。
昨天的一切都消失了嗎？就像大太陽下的雪一樣……
下雪日的快樂回憶真的不存在了嗎？
接下來，會發生什麼事？
名人推薦
這本繪本描述一對平常幾乎是死對頭的師生，在下雪日共創的美好記憶。文字生動幽默，圖畫可愛吸睛，看完後好想立馬直奔雪國丟雪球、堆雪人！──李貞慧（兒童文學推廣工作者）
停課的下雪日裡，兩個孤獨且互不欣賞的師生成了彼此唯一的陪伴。雪停後，原可能重回對立關係的兩人，卻因相互的了解與約定，讓生活充滿了期待。欣賞這個戲劇性的故事，讓人感受到被關心與被認同的美好。──葉嘉青（臺灣師範大學人類發展與家庭學系兼任講師）
丹尼和崔柏老師的故事，令我想起白居易的詩《琵琶行》其中的兩句
「同是天涯淪落人，相逢何必曾相識」，逗趣之餘，卻添了暖暖的愛意。──菜姨姨（書伴我行(香港)基金會社區閱讀發展總監）
一個適合在希望的季節閱讀的溫暖故事，丹尼和老師共度的時光讓所有寂寞與誤會都溶解在動人的情誼裡。《下雪日的約定》告訴我們生命中永遠存在愛的魔法，只要你真心真意相信！──黃筱茵（兒童文學工作者）
老師的嚴格後面有什麼？
學生的糟糕後面有什麼？
一本以溫柔的角度出發，還原人與人之間真相的感動繪本。──吳在媖（兒童文學工作者）
本書是「翻轉教育」的典範作品！它描述最嚴厲的老師和最不受教的學生單獨相處一天的故事，透過共玩，拉近彼此的關係，翻轉學生的生命。本書和我的教育理念相謀合，我認為關係重於課業，關係重於問題，解決孩子（學生）的問題之前，要先和對方建立良好的關係。愛是一切問題的答案！推薦這本書給所有家長和師長，特別是親子關係惡劣、師生關係箭拔弩張的親師。──蔡幸珍（新北市書香文化推廣協會理事長）
作為獨生女兒，我的內在小孩往往在Rebecca Cobb的作品找到安慰！
在《下雪日的約定》裡，我看到孤獨的師生倆彼此陪伴，透過他們的創意和想像看到生命的力量，並回憶起自己當年在雪地用膠袋滑雪的樂趣。就在這個冬日跟孩子分享這個充滿愛的故事、分享您一個美麗的冬日回憶，讓孩子在沒有下雪的香港感受到不一樣的溫暖。──鍾慧沁（香港生命教育工作者、業餘兒童閱讀推廣人）

――原本我以為這只是個老套的聖誕節繪本，但我錯了！這個美好故事深深觸動我心底，文字和繪圖都同樣令人感動。故事是描述一位嚴格古板的老師與一個害羞的男孩，下雪日這天在學校相遇。這是一個很棒的聖誕故事，它將成為經典。
――我們家書櫃裡已經有了《空空的聖誕襪》，現在再多了一本《下雪日》，它們都很適合在冬天閱讀。如果下雪了，我們也要來堆一座雪人軍團喔。

Richard Curtis and Rebecca Cobb created a masterpiece with, “The Empty Stocking.” I was really hoping this would be as good, but that was really a tall order. That is not to say this is a bad book – it’s not, it’s really, really good. To replicate the magic of their first picture book would be difficult and this falls just a tiny bit short of the genius of the first work.
Snow days are, obviously, magical for children and when there is a snow day, everyone is delighted that there is no school. Everyone that is except for Danny Higgins, whose parents are always busy and whose aunt left the house when he did and cannot be contacted. When Danny turns up for school, there is only one teacher there – Mr Trapper – the strictest teacher in school.
It seems as though the day will be terrible. The truth, though, is that both Mr Trapper and Danny are a little bit lonely and the snow just might allow them to have some fun… This is a warm story, but the illustrations slightly outstrip the story.

This is a great picture book about a snow day when only Danny and Mr Trapper turned up to school. They didn't get on very well before but they ended up having great fun, adapting the lessons to play in the snow. They then realised after a while that they had a lot more in common than they thought, and they carried on having a snow day every year after that. The story could also be linked to seasons and weather and children could think about what their snow days.

A sweet and simple story about a boy and a teacher who don’t get along but eventually find they have more in common than they realised. This book has multiple opportunities for making predictions as there are a couple of small plot twists. This could be used in thematic planning for a theme such as ‘winter wonderland’ or ‘changing seasons’ and could inspire art, English, geography, etc.

We did like this book, the illustrations are lovely and the storytelling is engaging.
However, we weren't so sure we liked the ending so much, perhaps Mr Trapper was just a bit too sneaky for our liking - don't give a child detention or make them feel bad if they haven't done anything wrong!

My new Christmas book! Christmas is expected to be a time of love and family, this is not the case for our two main characters. The story shows how special circumstances can lead people who normally are in disagreement can share many commonalities. So many pastoral applications for this book!

A story all about snow, something which a lot of people like to enjoy with friends. However, this story is about two people who don't have anyone to enjoy the snow with. A heart-warming ending, however I was unsure about the idea of putting him in detention when he hadn't done anything wrong...

Brilliant book. More than just a fun snow story.

An extremely powerful book by Richard Curtis, which focuses in on the themes of loneliness and the most unexpected friendships. I really enjoyed Curtis' work here, I thought the book was extremely heartwarming and although children will not have experienced this exact scenario, many will be able to relate their own relationships with their teachers to this story.

A lovely read.

The books was very good at displaying the relationship between pupil and teacher in a formal setting and how that may change based on circumstances. The way that the book shows similar backgrounds between teacher and pupil shows how even the most strict adult could have similar experiences from life and allows the reader to relate the two characters to each other.
