Overview
As the worst snow storm of the year rolls in, one family hunkers down together in a cozy blanket fort for the night. A little girl makes a wish on a snow globe and, in the morning, the sun rises on a winter wonderland–beckoning all outside. And what if, on this snow-filled day, families shake their busy lives and one and all, young and old, strangers and neighbors, go out to play? A lyrical holiday story about wishes and community and snow–lots and lots of snow.
