After breakfast she starts building a snowman, and soon realizes that it’s easier and more fun to do with some help!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther kids join in to help roll the balls that make up the snowman’s body. A passing teenager helps them reach to place the head. Then more neighbours come along and each contribute something unique from their packed lunches or winter ensembles: a pickle for a nose, bagel halves for the ears, lychee buttons, a shawl …\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe final touch comes in the form of a poppy pin placed by a veteran over the snowman’s heart. The snowman smiles as the community members pause to admire their work. And when the crowd disperses, the girl and her grandfather stay behind to share a snack and warmth with someone who needs them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspired by a real “community snowman” built by neighbours, author Deborah Kerbel has crafted a narrative about serendipitous connections, working together and paying it forward. These themes — and more! — are brought to life by the comic brilliance of Tine Modeweg-Hansen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e8.75 in x 11 in\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e32 Pages\u003cbr\u003eFor ages 3 years and up \u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eAuthor: Deborah Kerbel\u003cbr\u003eIllustrator: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eTine Modeweg-Hansen\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9781773069517\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/themontessoriroom.com\/collections\/books-1\" style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eClick here to view our entire collection of children's books.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50813334946039,"sku":null,"price":21.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0536\/5530\/6394\/files\/1_ccf9c5c9-24d2-4033-a9e0-546e0f855886.png?v=1779982661","url":"https:\/\/themontessoriroom.com\/products\/community-snowman-by-deborah-kerbel-hardcover","provider":"The Montessori Room","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
