It seems we are all on computers, all the time. Our children are going to school online, playing video games or watching social media. Snail Mail written by Samantha Berger and Illustrated by Julia Patton reintroduces the importance of traditional mail.
A girl writes a letter to a boy and it is delivered by Snail Mail. Three adventurous snails take the mail across the country to her friend. It is a very exciting trip. They navigate canyons, mountains and rivers. Eventually, they enlist help from the sparrows. The snails successfully make their way across the country to deliver the letter.
