Our Review Panel says...

There’s no feeling quite like cosying up in the warmth with a good story while the snow falls outside. Snow is a key feature of many seasonal winter books and one of our favourites of all is The Snowflake by Benji Davies, which is gentle and charming in equal measure and tenderly demonstrates that it’s not mountainous piles of presents or commercial festivities that make Christmas magical.

High in the sky, a tiny snowflake is born and it begins to tumble down, wondering where it is destined to land. Meanwhile, a little girl called Noelle is getting ready for Christmas, decorating her tree and looking for Christmas wonder in everyday activities. The pair come together in a beautiful moment tied up with warmth, hope and the wonder of the little things that make Christmas time magical.
