THE CHRISTMAS SNOW GLOBE

THE CHRISTMAS SNOW GLOBE by Sibylle Delacroix

It's Christmas Eve and Noah and Lucy are anxiously staring out the window waiting for snow that doesn't come. Before going to bed, their father gives them a gift to open - a beautiful snow globe. Setting it next to her bed, Lucy gives it a little shake and watches the snow swirl around inside. Suddenly, she feels a cold drop on her cheek and then another. She looks up to see it's snowing inside her bedroom and so begins a beautiful snow adventure in the house! Originally published in France, this picture book about childhood innocence and dreams is about as sweet as you can get.

Accompanying her text, Delacroix's graphite and colored pencil illustrations beautifully capture the truth that often times it's the simplest things that bring about the greatest joys in life.
