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.

A wonderful resource for children experiencing loss. We recently lost an amazing grade 1 teacher at our school, tragically and unexpectedly. I read this book to her students and it provided so much comfort to six year olds who had never experienced death, in a very relatable way. It also opened up discussion and allowed her students to grieve in a safe space. I would highly recommend this book for all children between the ages of 5-10.
