About the Book

Mary Grace has one big dream, to build a snowman. When she visits her grandparents in California with her sister Cecilia, that dream finally comes true. But when it is time to leave, she isn’t ready to say goodbye.

With a little creativity and a lot of love, Mary Grace, Cecilia, and their grandmother come up with a magical plan to bring her snowman, Snowflake, all the way home to Florida.

From snowy mountains to sunny skies, this true story captures the wonder of childhood, the power of imagination, and the quiet, lasting love between a grandmother and her granddaughters.
