“This afternoon it snowed. It was probably one of the last snows of the winter, so it was lovely sticky snow…perfect for making a snowman.” So begins the funny and poignant tale of a teenage girl and a dangerously tall snowman. From the kitchen window, a mother watches her teenage daughter build one last snowman in the fresh spring snow. The girl works diligently, and with some help from her little brother, she constructs a dashing giant. But wet snow and gravity take their toll, leaving a young girl who has perhaps loved and lost for the very first time. The LAST Snowman is a book with timeless appeal for children and adults alike. Award-winning story artist JC Little has playfully captured a tender “moment” in family life, marking the ephemeral grace between childhood and adolescence. Praise for The Last Snowman: “Loved this sweet story! It’s not easy being a 14 year old girl… but thankfully mom can still make it all better. With the help of hot chocolate, that is.” – Jill Smokler, New York Times bestselling author of Confessions of a Scary Mommy "The LAST Snowman beautifully captures the melting away of two seasons: Winter and childhood." – Annie @ PhD in Parenting Blog "Many people can tell a story. But no one can draw a story like JC Little. If The Last Snowman doesn't melt your heart, then clearly, you have a heart of coal!" – Tracy Beckerman, syndicated columnist and author of Lost in Suburbia: A Momoir "What a sweet little illustration/story - such a vivid snapshot of a moment between mother and daughter. JC is a truly talented artist." – ML Philpott, writer & artist.
