The Snowmansion

A boy tunes into his snow creation’s dream of home in a wonderful wordless story for the most magical of seasons

Through the window of his house, a boy watches snow fall gently on his snowman. From the other side of the glass, the snowman admires the home’s glow and the family scene inside, wondering what it’s like to live in such a golden place. A magical meeting of boy and snowman sets a midnight adventure into motion—the quest for a house that is suitable for a snowperson. Delightful vignettes chronicle the pair’s games in the park, their quest for the perfect site, and their creation of a sparkling, snowy mansion. A parade of curious kids and their snow people join in the revelry in a lantern-lit finale sure to take readers’ breath away. A heartwarming story poised to become a holiday classic.Gideon Sterer is a New York Times best-selling author whose books include The Midnight Fair, illustrated by Mariachiara Di Giorgio; The Christmas Owl, co-written with Ellen Kalish and illustrated by Ramona Kaulitzki; and Treehouse Town, illustrated by Charlie Mylie.
