Review, Giveaway and Blog Tour for John Rocco’s Book, Blizzard

I was sent a copy of John Rocoo’s book, Blizzard. I knew one thing about John and that was that he wrote and illustrated this book about the Blizzard of ’78. I was four when that happened and we lived right over the Rhode Island border, close to where the story takes place. I remember being in our house with no electricity, a two year old sister and a brand new puppy.

I remember being told that if I even step out of the house I’d get lost in a snow drift.
