Ühel külmal ööl tekkis kõrgel taevas lumehelves。 Peagi selgus， et lumehelbete töö on langemine。 Lumehelbeke hakkas otsima head kohta kuhu langeda。 Kui ta oligi koha leidnud， siis viis tuul ta muudkui edasi。 Samas ühes kaugel- kaugel linnas ootas Noelle， millal hakkaks sadama lund。 Lõpuks lumesadu algas ja meie väike lumehelbeke oli langenud just Noella väikse kuusepuu tippu。

“Igaüks neist isemoodi， igaüks neist imekaunis。”Lumehelbekese ja Noelle lugu on äärmiselt armas ja südantsoojendav。 Väga tore oli jälgida lumehelbekese seiklust läbi nende imeliste illustratsioonide。Piltide puhul meeldis meile Adelyniga see， et neid oli niisamagi tore vaadata ja oma jutuke juurde rääkida。 Näiteks ei jäänud lapsele märkamata emme koos vankriga vōi öökull pimedas puu otsas。 Pildid， mis panevad loole kaasa elama！Tore raamat siia jōulude ootuse aega！

See my full review here: https://www。yabookscentral。com/kidsfi。。。THE SNOWFLAKE is a beautiful story about hope， finding your place， and coming together。 A little snowflake is released from a cloud and floating on the wind - she is not sure where she is going and wants to stay with the cloud， but it encourages her that she will find her place。 She travels on and on。 Meanwhile， a little girl named Noelle is traveling home with her Pappie， and her path intersects with that of the little snowflake。 See my full review here: https://www。yabookscentral。com/kidsfi。。。THE SNOWFLAKE is a beautiful story about hope， finding your place， and coming together。 A little snowflake is released from a cloud and floating on the wind - she is not sure where she is going and wants to stay with the cloud， but it encourages her that she will find her place。 She travels on and on。 Meanwhile， a little girl named Noelle is traveling home with her Pappie， and her path intersects with that of the little snowflake。 She wishes for a fancy tree like in the store window， though it is not possible， and instead finds a little branch that she decorates。 She leaves it outside her window， hoping snow will fall and cover it。 When she awakes the next morning， she finds one snowflake on the top - the little snowflake has found her perfect place！What I loved: This is a sweet and lovely read that is perfect around the holidays。 The themes of finding your way， making the best of what you have， and hope resonate throughout this beautiful story。 The writing is soft and travels between Noelle and the snowflake with powerful results。 The illustrations are just perfect， in Davies's usual style， with the right amount of details and plenty of visual interest to capture young imaginations。 This is a sweeping and gorgeous story， perfect for a fall or winter read， that is sure to captivate and warm the heart。What left me wanting more: As a small point， some of the text on the snowstorm pages is really hard to read， as it is black font over a medium/darkish blue。 This is particularly challenging in lowlight such as bedtime or evening。 Luckily， most pages are easy to read with the clear font over light or white color backgrounds。Final verdict: A lovely story of hope and finding your place， THE SNOWFLAKE is a beautiful read that will appeal to picture book lovers of all ages。 Highly recommend as fall or winter pick。Please note that I received a review copy。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

This book bounces back and forth between a snowflake （who doesn't want to fall） and a little girl， who is preparing for Christmas with her mom and grandpa。 It has a heartwarming ending that makes it a great， but simple， Christmas story。 This book bounces back and forth between a snowflake （who doesn't want to fall） and a little girl， who is preparing for Christmas with her mom and grandpa。 It has a heartwarming ending that makes it a great， but simple， Christmas story。 。。。more

The lovely Christmas story of a frightened snow flake， who does not want to fall through the sky until it meets other snowflakes， and ends up atop a Christmas Tree。Lovely and the illustrations are superb。Maria Carmo，Lisbon， 9 November 2021。

Sweet journey of a girl and snowflake on a fateful Christmas eve。 I so wanted the snowflakes to look more like snowflakes and distinct from each other。 But of course all is forgiven。

En si， este libro tiene un formato ideal para primeros lectores， ya que incluye un vocabulario simples y precisos， una variedad de colores， una tipografía legible， un buen tamaño de letra， la protagonista tiene la misma edad que el lector y esto hace que este se pueda identificar con ella y respeta la inteligencia del lector。 Además， aborda una historia super linda， pero al mismo tiempo es un poco aburrida para los lectores， ya que no presenta algo que te deje con intriga o que te divierta。

Benji Davis， man。I find it impressive that you can tell such cute， heart-warming stories on so few pages。And， of course - the art style is， as always， very charming！ I love how the art alternates between large pictures that take up a whole page， and smaller， round pictures that are separated by text。The end。

Μιας και περιμένουμε πώς και πώς να χιονίσει απόψε -μην τρώμε όλο το κρύο， ας δούμε και λίγο χιόνι- είπαμε να διαβάσουμε τη Χιονονιφάδα。 Μια πολύ γλυκιά και τρυφερή παιδική ιστορία， που δεν έχει τίποτα να ζηλέψει από τις υπάρχουσες κλασικές χριστουγεννιάτικες ιστορίες。 Η μικρή Νοέλ και ο Πάπι της θα σας αγγίξουν σίγουρα。 Πολύ όμορφες εικονες， απλός λόγος και ένα συναίσθημα που αγγίζει όλα τα παιδάκια σίγουρα: η ανυπομονησία για το χριστουγεννιάτικο δέντρο και το χιόνι！！

A lovely book following the story of two characters simultaneously， one a young girl called Noelle and the other a falling snowflake。 You see their different lives during the festive season and eventually come together in a joyous celebration。 Would definitely recommend。

A very adorable and sweet book about a snowflake and girl and it brought me straight into the holiday spirits。I read this beautiful book in Dutch but decided to write this review in English。I just adore Benji Davies’ books， he really has a way with words but also definitely with art。 I get most of the books because of the amazing art， yes， I confess！ The stories are often great as well， really， but the art is just so outstanding and gorgeous。And it is the same in this one。 I enjoyed the story fe A very adorable and sweet book about a snowflake and girl and it brought me straight into the holiday spirits。I read this beautiful book in Dutch but decided to write this review in English。I just adore Benji Davies’ books， he really has a way with words but also definitely with art。 I get most of the books because of the amazing art， yes， I confess！ The stories are often great as well， really， but the art is just so outstanding and gorgeous。And it is the same in this one。 I enjoyed the story featuring two characters， a little snowflake who wants to land in the right spot （and dreams of being a star on top of a Christmas tree）， and a little girl who is living with her mom and grandpa and wants to have a wonderful Christmas。 I loved seeing the snowflake not wanting to land， not just on anything at least， and I could fully understand that， because everyone knows what happens to snowflakes when they land。 At least in my country it doesn’t generally stay in a big fluffy blanket of cold。 It just smushes up。 I was just rooting for this little snowflake to find her home， at least for a while。 I liked how the little girl made her own little tree， as if she knew that there would be something special happening。But the art。 WOW。 That was just stunning and I took my time soaking up all the details。 It really gave me those holiday vibes that I was hoping to find。The ending was great， I loved seeing both the girl and the snowflake be happy （and I had a laugh at the dog’s reaction）。All in all， a snowy and holiday spirit filled book that I would recommend。Review first posted at https://twirlingbookprincess。com/ 。。。more
