Treasures of the Snow: Why Morals Are Necessary in Children’s Literature When Patricia St. John wrote Treasures of the Snow in the nineteen-fifties, she followed what she knew about writing and life and instilled morals and life lessons throughout the work. All of her books, but especially Treasures of the Snow, are all-important to children’s literature because they provide deep life lessons about subjects like love, hatred, death, disability, repentance, self-sacrifice, forgiveness and reconciliation that need to be taught to children (Treasures). These perplexing themes included in Treasures of the Snow need to be introduced to young people because adults are increasingly less inclined to pick up a book once they finish their highest level of education, whether that be high school or graduate studies.
For the past 5 years, my grandparents, my step cousins, my cousins, and I would take a trip to a resort, Glendorn, in Pennsylvania to hunt. We would wake up around 4:30 every morning, put on layers upon layers of clothes, and load into Jeeps with rifles in our hands, and then drive around with a guide through the trails in the woods.
