Wonder & Awe

Illustrated by Annie Herzig

About The Book

This enchanting debut picture book tells the story of two friends—a girl and a snowwoman—who help each other see the beauty and wonder in the world around them.

One magical morning, a little girl makes a new snow friend. She calls her Wonder. Everything is new to Wonder, and they spend many enchanting days together. But as winter turns to spring, Wonder must go. Without her friend, the little girl is sad… Until one day when she rediscovers her sense of wonder.

As the seasons continue to change, the little girl witnesses the beauty all around her and waits for the first magical snow of winter to bring Wonder back home.
