This timeless classic about a hard working tractor who saves the town in a blizzard tells a story about perseverance and strength. When Geopolis is hit by a record breaking snow storm, the whole town stops. Doctors are unable to get to their patients, airports and train stations are closed, power lines are down, and everything is at a standstill. Slowly Katy begins to plow out the entire city, resiliently working until everyone gets the help they need. Burton’s charming illustrations add further details and depth to this simple story.
