The Snowflake
Author(s): Benji Davies
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.
Review(s):
Hope and patience are rewarded in this cozy holiday tale.
Davies’s prose has an elegant simplicity as sweeping spreads ensure that readers will continue turning the pages of this quietly satisfying narrative.
Davies’s petite white snowflake stands out against the blues of the frosty winter scenes; the loving intergenerational human relationship radiates warmth.
Joyful celebration of wintry delights.
