Literary Baptism

In the beginnig of The Book Thief snow is mentioned alot. Foster says snow or water of any form represents baptism. I believe Zusak is showing a baptism with Liesel. Liesel travels from a life of poverty, only a mother, and fear of communism to a better life with two parents enough money for neccesities and no worries of Hitler. On page 26 the street Liesel is moving to is shown with a translation Himmel means Heaven so i believe the heavy mentioning of snow is a litterally baptism of a better life for Liesel
