The Snowflake: A Christmas Holiday Book for Kids

From Benji Davies, the
award-winning creator of Tad and The Storm
Whale, comes a dazzling wintery tale
about a young girl wishing for a perfect Christmas tree, and a young snowflake
wishing for the perfect place to land.

High,
high up in the clouds, a tiny snowflake is made. Perfectly fluffy and white,
she tumbles and bounces on the clouds. But then, to her dismay, she begins to
fall. . . .

Exquisitely written and beautifully
illustrated, The
Snowflake tells the separate stories of one snowflake and one
little girl—both longing for their own special place in the world—that spin
together into a magical ending. The snowflake and Noelle discover that wherever
we go, and however we fall, in the end, we all find a way to shine.

Perfect for fans of The Night Before Christmas,
illustrated by Loren Long, and Dasher by Matt Tavares.
