Emotionally Relevant and Moving!
Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2025
This darling picture book was a hit with my grandkids. They appreciated the whimsical story about a boy and his friend Tingle, the magical snowflake. Little did they know I read it as an inroad to talk about the loss of their great-grandmother. We were able to talk about her passing in an emotionally rich way without trauma. Thank you Ms. White for this wonderful book.
