Book Cover & Preview Text
As Little Beth ran, her party shoes began to fill with snow. The snow was coming down more gently, but the sun was setting, as Beth ran closer and closer to the forest. It had become dark enough that Little Beth did not realize that she had gone further than she intended. Little Beth was already cold. She stopped at the forest edge where there was a white blanket of untouched snow, perfect for her snow angel. Little Beth unrolled her long skirt and let the food fall to the ground for the forest animals to find. Then the little girl lay down in the untouched snow next to the food and began to make her snow angel; her present to all the animals in the forest. Beth looked up at the snowflakes falling down on her. She blinked her eyes as the snowflakes fell onto her face. She pushed the snow with her feet and legs as hard as she could. She rolled her head back and forth in the snow and thought; this must be what it feels like to be an angel in the snow. She closed her eyes and made a special wish. “I wish tonight, with all my might, let my snow angel come to life.” Beth smiled and closed her eyes and imagined a beautiful angel coming from the heavens made of snow with magical snowflakes falling from her wings.
