All the little snowman dreamed to do is go caroling like a happy child with a silvery voice would do around Christmas time. But the little snowman was made of snow and could make no sound. What will happen when he meets a red cardinal that fills him with hope that he too could receive a voice? The Snowman's Song will inspire kids to believe in Christmas miracles.
The snowman book that moves you to believe in yourself and never quit on your big dreams
The snowman wants to sing just one small note so that he could have a perfect Christmas. But nothing would come from his cold, hard snow throat. The red cardinal tells him that if he were to sing, he has to believe deep in his heart that he can. The little snowman struggles to believe in himself, but an act of kindness from a little girl helps him start to believe that he is special.
Witness a Christmas miracle in one of the most awe-inspiring snowy winter picture books
All of a sudden, the holes near his face blew out lyrical sounds like a heavenly flute. The whole world stood in place. His dream was fulfilled, he was no longer mute. His song was spring rains and violin strings, the fragrance of flowers and hummingbird wings. The Snowman's Song is a heartwarming Christmas children's book that will inspire kids through all seasons of their life.

Maurice Sendak's Caldecott Medal-winning picture book has become one of the most highly acclaimed and best-loved children's books of all time. A must for every child's bookshelf.
This iconic story has inspired a movie, an opera, and the imagination of generations. When Max dresses in his wolf suit and causes havoc in the house, his mother sends him to bed. From there, Max sets sail to an island inhabited by the Wild Things, who name him king and share a wild rumpus with him. But then from far away across the world, Max smells good things to eat...
Let the wild rumpus continue as this classic comes to life like never before with new reproductions of Maurice Sendak's artwork. Astonishing state-of-the-art technology faithfully captures the color and detail of the original illustrations. Sendak himself enthusiastically endorsed this impressive new interpretation of his art.
Mary Pols of Time magazine wrote that "what makes Sendak's book so compelling is its grounding effect: Max has a tantrum and in a flight of fancy visits his wild side, but he is pulled back by a belief in parental love to a supper 'still hot." Generations have shared this beautiful picture book, and children of all ages will want to return to it again and again.
Maurice Sendak was also the creator of such classics as In the Night Kitchen, Outside Over There, Higglety Pigglety Pop!, and Nutshell Library.
