When he sees a shooting star one clear alpine night, a lonely snowman is granted one wish. His dream? To go to Hawaii! The snowman befriends a reindeer made of ice who is bound for the lobby of a grand Hawaiian hotel. Along the way, he shares some of his snow with those who need it. There is only one problem: he is getting smaller and smaller, and soon it will be day! Michel Le s breathtaking paintings illustrate this Hawaiian-style Christmas story about a tiny snowman with a big heart.

“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.
