A Julia Eccleshare Pick of the Month October 2023
A richly illustrated picture book story infused with magic this tells how a homeless little boy shakes up a snowstorm in order to transform his life.
The snow globe magicks a dusting of snow all over the people who bustle about in the hectic and uncaring city. The snowfall slows everyone down and, as it lasts day after day, everyone begins to have more time for caring and for sharing and for playing. But it cannot be winter for ever…
The boy knows that he must stop shaking down more snow and trust that the effect of the wonderful new way of living will last even when there is no more snow. And miraculously, it does!
