ABOUT THE BOOK?
Cora May feels invisible, the kind of shy that makes a person disappear in a crowd. Then one snowy night, a mysterious red thread appears, pulling her into a dream world of snow spirits, enchanted kingdoms, and a gentle snowman who helps her find a courage she didn't know she had.
​Rooted in the ancient Chinese legend of the red thread of fate, The Snowman and the Red Thread is a magical realism picture book for ages 4–10 about belonging, self-acceptance, and the friendships that find us when we need them most.
