Raymond Briggs's The Snowman perfectly illustrates the wonder and innocence of childhood.
On a snowy winter night, a young boy builds a snowman in hopes that it will come to life. When his wish comes true, the boy and his snowman share silly and tender moments--dressing up, sneaking around the house, skateboarding, and much more. Eventually, they soar through the beautiful night sky before saying good night. Briggs's wordless tale relates a story about imagination and friendship, as well as love and loss. This board book edition of The Snowman is a perfect gift for the holidays.

RIP Raymond Briggs, author/illustrator of the marvellous Fungus the Bogeyman, The Snowman and Father Christmas on Holiday - the latter including one of the best depictions of the ghastly after-effects of gluttony. What a man, what unforgettable work. https://t.co/uVAYDH2HRc
