A 2025 Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards Gold Medalist

A festive snowman chase that celebrates kindness, teamwork, and winter holiday magic!

When a playful wind sprite whooshes Marla Little’s snowman away, she dashes after it—only to meet helpful neighbors at every corner. As he rolls along, the haberdasher pins on shiny buttons, the greengrocer offers a crisp carrot nose, the milliner crowns him with a jaunty hat, the florist tucks in twiggy arms, and the knitters loop a cozy scarf… until winter magic takes hold and a wonderful surprise brings the town together.

The Roll-Away Snowman is a heartwarming seasonal picture book with catchy rhymes, enchanting art, and a joyful message—one that will earn a spot on every child’s holiday shelf. Parents, teachers, and grandparents will love sharing this festive tale year after year.

Editorial praise
“When her snowman rolls away, Marla Little chases her creation through the neighborhood, encountering one helpful friend after another.
