This story was written by a learner for the Smith College’s Tadoku project and it features absolutely stunning handdrawn illustrations. It looks like it could be published as a children’s book!
The story itself also reminded me of a typical winter tale aimed at kids because it was so cute and wholesome.
Additionally, the language is very simple. The author uses a lot of dialog featuring exclamations and set phrases in short sentences. You will only encounter a select few kanji, but those that do appear will all have furigana, which makes this a great read for anyone with N5 abilities.
