Spotted this in the library by my favourite author and couldn't resist picking it up。 A sweet story about the snow angel that comes one night to save Sylvie and her attempts to summon him again to understand how the concept works and then her insistence that all her family make snow angels。 Beautiful illustrations， and perfect for younger children and for Adults to read to them。 Slight wondering from me， did the angel really need to have a gender？ Spotted this in the library by my favourite author and couldn't resist picking it up。 A sweet story about the snow angel that comes one night to save Sylvie and her attempts to summon him again to understand how the concept works and then her insistence that all her family make snow angels。 Beautiful illustrations， and perfect for younger children and for Adults to read to them。 Slight wondering from me， did the angel really need to have a gender？ 。。。more

I received this audiobook as part of the Libro。fm educator monthly subscription。11/29/21 - What a cute book about protectors and girls。 I listened to this one which was narrated by Ruth Negga。 I quite enjoyed this one and want to get it to look at the illustrations， the one drawback to audiobooks！

The dream of making into a book the story you told to a sick child--ah， would anything be more rewarding？ When the predicament is （or seems to be） life or death， and you， the storyteller， must summon the gods， the story may seem more powerful than it really is， especially if the child gets well。 I'm afraid that's the case here， or at least， it was for me。 I still love and revere Maggie O'Farrell。 The dream of making into a book the story you told to a sick child--ah， would anything be more rewarding？ When the predicament is （or seems to be） life or death， and you， the storyteller， must summon the gods， the story may seem more powerful than it really is， especially if the child gets well。 I'm afraid that's the case here， or at least， it was for me。 I still love and revere Maggie O'Farrell。 。。。more

A beautiful winter-season inspired fairy tale。 This story illuminates the glory of imagination and creates a modern-day telling of a mystical protector paired with gorgeously detailed illustrations。 I love the poetic descriptions of the sky， the weather， the sensation of being touched by something icy cold。 The illustrations are fantastic， switching between fully rendered pages， doodles in the margins and what seems to be a wide-lined notebook。 I adore this modern day fairy tale-it makes me beli A beautiful winter-season inspired fairy tale。 This story illuminates the glory of imagination and creates a modern-day telling of a mystical protector paired with gorgeously detailed illustrations。 I love the poetic descriptions of the sky， the weather， the sensation of being touched by something icy cold。 The illustrations are fantastic， switching between fully rendered pages， doodles in the margins and what seems to be a wide-lined notebook。 I adore this modern day fairy tale-it makes me believe in magic！ 。。。more

I listened to this book through the libro。fm alc program for educators。 This is a fast， sweet， story about a little girl who meets her snow angel - a magical kind of guardian angel。 The angel is surprised she can see him and explains that he was made by her when she made a snow angel - that the snow angel evaporates into the sky and reforms as a guardian for the person who made them （"it's simple science"）。 The little girl never forgets him， and tries to summon him through recklessness。 But she I listened to this book through the libro。fm alc program for educators。 This is a fast， sweet， story about a little girl who meets her snow angel - a magical kind of guardian angel。 The angel is surprised she can see him and explains that he was made by her when she made a snow angel - that the snow angel evaporates into the sky and reforms as a guardian for the person who made them （"it's simple science"）。 The little girl never forgets him， and tries to summon him through recklessness。 But she soon finds that only real danger will bring him。 When she learns that not everyone has a snow angel because they haven't made one （this is a UK book， so I guess snow cover isn't common？）， so she begs for a heavy snow so that everyone she loves can be protected。 This is a really sweet story appropriate for winter and Christmas time - but without any religious overtones （the snow angel is an "angel" - but not in the traditional way）。 Good for grades 2-4。 。。。more

One night Sophie wakes up to find a winged man in her room--a cold， silvery man with gigantic feathered wings， and a startled bemusement that she can see him。 Sophie learns that he is her snow angel， who always watches over and protects her， and tonight she needed him because she's not as well as she thinks。 Many months later， after surviving a devastating illness （never specified what）， Sophie wants to see him again to thank him--and to ask how she can make sure everyone else has a snow angel t One night Sophie wakes up to find a winged man in her room--a cold， silvery man with gigantic feathered wings， and a startled bemusement that she can see him。 Sophie learns that he is her snow angel， who always watches over and protects her， and tonight she needed him because she's not as well as she thinks。 Many months later， after surviving a devastating illness （never specified what）， Sophie wants to see him again to thank him--and to ask how she can make sure everyone else has a snow angel to watch over them。This was a lovely modern fairy tale， sweet and gentle but with some humor and sass as well。 I liked how Sophie worries about others， and how she wants to keep them all safe。 And it's a lovely notion that making a snow angel could create a guardian for you。 My only quibble was that I wished I knew what it was that made Sophie sick for months on end--even a hint。 It was so vague， in a story that was otherwise full of wonderfully specific detail。 I listened to the audiobook version， with thanks to Libro。fm for a free educator's copy。 。。。more

Where the Snow Angels Go” is a lovely tale by Irish writer Maggie O’Farrell with luminous illustrations by Daniela Jaglenka Terrazzini。One wintery night Sylvie awakens in her bed， her mind going back to a delightful day a year before when she made a snow angel， “…a day so silent it was as if a blanket had fallen over the world。” Sylvie doesn’t know that she’s ill—only that she’s visited in the night by a stately snow angel garbed in flowing robes， his voice gently reassuring Sylvie that he’ll al Where the Snow Angels Go” is a lovely tale by Irish writer Maggie O’Farrell with luminous illustrations by Daniela Jaglenka Terrazzini。One wintery night Sylvie awakens in her bed， her mind going back to a delightful day a year before when she made a snow angel， “…a day so silent it was as if a blanket had fallen over the world。” Sylvie doesn’t know that she’s ill—only that she’s visited in the night by a stately snow angel garbed in flowing robes， his voice gently reassuring Sylvie that he’ll always be with her， serving as her protector in times of sickness and danger。 The snow angel also tells the child she will not recollect his visit—with dawn’s light all memories of him will melt like snow in the afternoon sun。 The snow angel’s touch on her forehead dissolves Sylvie’s fever but she vividly remembers his visit and when other scary “scrapes” occur in her life， though she can’t see her snow angel she knows he’s with her， saving her from any nasty plight that might befall。Sylvie wants more than anything to have the ones she loves kept safe and sound—their own personal snow angels looking out for them too。 Oh if it will only it would snow again—oh if only her snow angel would drop down from the sky and help her set her plan in motion。 Comfort and peace abound in “Where Snow Angels Go，” a gorgeous fantasy about an unselfish child on a mission of love。 。。。more

Maggie O’Farrell， one of my favorite writers of contemporary novels， last year published a magnificent piece of historical fiction 。 To illustrate her versatility once again， she has written this beautiful little fairy tale for young children or for those who are young at heart。 This is not just about “where snow angels go”， but where they come from - perhaps from the magic and innocence and love in a little girl’s heart。 A little over a half hour to listen， it’s a lovely story。 I received a cop Maggie O’Farrell， one of my favorite writers of contemporary novels， last year published a magnificent piece of historical fiction 。 To illustrate her versatility once again， she has written this beautiful little fairy tale for young children or for those who are young at heart。 This is not just about “where snow angels go”， but where they come from - perhaps from the magic and innocence and love in a little girl’s heart。 A little over a half hour to listen， it’s a lovely story。 I received a copy of this audiobook from Dreamscape Media through NetGalley。 。。。more
