What does Piero de' Medici want with Michelangelo on such a snowy day? That is what Sandro, the youngest page in the palazzo, wonders when he overhears that the ruler of Florence has summoned the sculptor to his courtyard. Exploding with curiosity, Sandro roams the palazzo looking for his father, who will surely know the reason for such an odd request. From the loggia to the kitchen, from the chapel to the stable, Sandro searches. Finally, when there's no place left to look, a commotion in the courtyard itself leads him to the satisfying solution to the mystery: Michelangelo is there, putting the final touches on a huge, beautiful snowman. Tony Parillo's accomplished watercolors combine historical realism with Renaissance style.
