A snowman’s search for a place to call home

A boy and his snowman connect across a window, setting off on a nighttime search for a home suited to a snowperson. The wordless format lets the story unfold through visual episodes: games in the park, the hunt for a site, and the building of a snowy mansion. As other children and their snow people join the gathering, the central ideas of friendship, imagination, and belonging expand into a shared winter celebration. The seasonal setting and fantasy premise keep the focus on what the pair create together, with pictures carrying the narrative instead of dialogue.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy wordless picture books
  • Families looking for a winter or holiday read-aloud
  • Young readers interested in snowmen, friendship, and imaginative adventures

Book overview

"Charmingly homey, in all the senses of the word." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

A boy tunes in to his snow creation's dream of home in a wonderful wordless story for the most magical of seasons


Through the window of his house, a boy watches snow fall gently on his snowman. From the other side of the glass, the snowman admires the home's glow and the family scene inside, wondering what it's like to live in such a golden place. A magical meeting of boy and snowman sets a midnight adventure into motion--the quest for a house that is suitable for a snowperson. Delightful vignettes chronicle the pair's games in the park, their quest for the perfect site, and their creation of a sparkling, snowy mansion. A parade of curious kids and their snow people join in the revelry in a lantern-lit finale sure to take readers' breath away. A heartwarming story poised to become a holiday classic.
