The Roll-Away Snowman (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783907130346)

It's a beautifully crisp winter's day, and young Marla Little is just about to dress her snowman when a playful wind sprite topples the snowman and sends him rolling through the picturesque little village. With Marla in hot pursuit, the breezy snowman rolls past the quaint shops where the townsfolk help dress him quickly along the way: buttons from the haberdasher, a carrot nose from the greengrocer, a jaunty hat from the milliner.

When the ethereal wind sprite finally stops her blowing, she sprinkles her magical ice crystals on the snowman, granting the wish of the precious girl who completes her wondrous day by dancing with her dapper snowman under the moon.

This playful derivative of a cumulative tale brings themes of sharing, generosity, and community to life, reminiscent of a modern parable story. Set against exquisite, hand-drawn illustrations, the rhythmic text with a lively repeating refrain presents a delightful, whimsical read-aloud that children will love.
