The Snowflake

A Christmas Holiday Book for Kids

Illustrator: Davies, Benji

Beschreibung

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.

Rezensionen

Praise for Benji Davies

"Benji Davies (The Storm Whale and Grandad's Island) is fast establishing himself as a leading light in children's picture books" - Huffington Post

"An author-illustrator destined to be one of this generation's great talents" - Huffington Post

Praise for THE STORM WHALE

"Like the best picture books, "The Storm Whale" has an outsize emotional force that often comes from what the author-illustrator Benji Davies leaves out" - New York Times

Praise for THE STORM WHALE IN WINTER

"Intensely atmospheric, full of biting cold, tender detail and warm light, this is a book to cuddle up with" - The Guardian

Praise for GRANDAD'S ISLAND

"A gently magical story about bidding farewell to a grandparent, Davies' vibrant palette infuses the story with a hopeful spirit" - Huffington Post

"Benji Davies didn't invent the melancholy sea story, but he sure knows how to deliver one...'Grandad's Island' metaphorically and movingly re-imagines the experience of loss" - Boston Globe
