Snow in the Sunshine

Written and Illustrated by Oliver Zarebinski

Right now, Snow in the Sunshine is on Amazon as an eBook, Paperback, and Hardcover.

I plan to release Snow in the Sunshine onto Audible, Spotify, and Apple iTunes. It will be narrated by me.

An exclusive excerpt from Snow in the Sunshine (only available to see on website!).

Snow in the Sunshine is a haunting and emotional collection of poetic storytelling that explores grief, guilt, memory, and the quiet moments that shape a life.

Through spare, free-verse prose, the story follows a young girl navigating loss, school, and a world that seems to move on without her. A simple pencil becomes a symbol of love, survival, and everything left unsaid. Snow and sunlight appear again and again—contrasts that reflect innocence and pain, warmth and isolation.

As perspectives shift and time passes, the book reveals how easily someone can be overlooked, how silence can be just as powerful as noise, and how choices echo long after they are made.

Raw, reflective, and unafraid to be uncomfortable, Snow in the Sunshine blends poetry and narrative to tell a story about being seen, being forgotten, and what remains when everything else is gone.

Perfect for readers who enjoy:

  • Free-verse and experimental storytelling

  • Dark, emotional themes

  • Thought-provoking young adult literature

  • Stories that linger long after the final page
