If It Snowed Forever — Fred Burstein

Jimmy, Robin and Marie are best friends on the way to school in Maine. Somehow it seems to them it will never stop snowing. But while it snows, there is a count-down to Marie's birthday. But it's also the sensitive and compassionate bus driver, Jack, and the harmonic magic of his bus that make this story unique. Will Marie's birthday prayer come true? Will it ever stop snowing? Along with what they learn about friendship,loyalty and love, the bus riders also learn what it is like for one of their friends to be a person of special needs, who sometimes needs even more than love -- proof of love.
