The Roll-Away Snowman - Paperback

A festive snowman chase that celebrates kindness, teamwork, and winter holiday magic!

When a playful wind sprite whooshes Marla Little's snowman away, she dashes after it-only to meet helpful neighbors at every corner. As he rolls along, the haberdasher pins on shiny buttons, the greengrocer offers a crisp carrot nose, the milliner crowns him with a jaunty hat, the florist tucks in twiggy arms, and the knitters loop a cozy scarf... until winter magic takes hold and a wonderful surprise brings the town together.

The Roll-Away Snowman is a heartwarming seasonal picture book with catchy rhymes, enchanting art, and a joyful message-one that will earn a spot on every child's holiday shelf. Parents, teachers, and grandparents will love sharing this festive tale year after year.
