Snowman (Ppr/Brd) (Hardcover)


It's a bird, it's a plane ... no, it's Snowman -- on his way to save Christmas! Meet Snowman: Snowville's most popular teacher and the unlikely hero of Christmas. In a delightful twist on a classic theme, this comic-style children's picture book tells the tale of an endearing snowman who uses a special gift from his students to help Santa on Christmas Eve. The fantastical world of Snowman is brought to life through engaging cartoon illustrations. As we follow Snowman through his day, his innermost dreams are gradually revealed. We experience the wonder and magic of his new gift from his students, and cheer along with Snowman when he uses his newfound power to help others. With humour and whimsy, artist and author Jacques Duquennoy turns the wonder of the first flakes of a snowfall into a heartwarming tale about what happens when our dreams come true. Dunnoyer's artfully composed frames and charming illustrations are reminiscent of Raymond Brigg's renowned and delightful cartoon-like style. Originally published to great acclaim in French, Snowman is now available in English.
