Christmas Wish

(Dutton/Penguin, Sept. 22, 2003)
It's Christmas Eve, but the weather is warm and the grass still green. Before falling asleep, a boy makes a wish: for a snowstorm like the one in his swirling snow globe. Soon something magical begins to happen. First one flake falls from the cloudless sky, then more and more and more -- but it's no ordinary snowstorm! Full of superbly surrealistic full-color illustrations, this enchanting picture book features translucent pages that draw the reader into the magic of a seemingly impossible wish come true.
