A story of hope in the cycle of nature. (Ages 4 to 7)
--- Added from Google Books ---
In Snowflakes Fall, Newbery Medalist Patricia MacLachlan and award-winning artist Steven Kellogg portray life’s natural cycle: its beauty, its joy, and its sorrow. Together, the words and pictures offer the promise of renewal that can be found in our lives—snowflakes fall, and return again as raindrops so that flowers can grow. MacLachlan and Kellogg, who are longtime friends, were moved to collaborate on a message of hope for children and their families following the tragic events in Sandy Hook, Connecticut, on December 14, 2012. Kellogg lived in Sandy Hook for thirty-five years—he raised his family there and was an active member of the community. With Snowflakes Fall, they have created a truly inspiring picture book that is both a celebration of life and a tribute to the qualities that make each individual unique. In honor of the community of Sandy Hook and Newtown, Random House, the publisher of Snowflakes Fall, has made a donation to the Sandy Hook School Support Fund. Random House is also donating 25,000 new books to the national literacy organization First Book in the community’s honor and in support of children everywhere.

Did Mama sing every day?" Caleb asks his older sister, Anna. Since their mother passed away, their prairie home has been quiet and lonely. But everything is about to change when their father places an ad in the newspaper for a mail-order bride, and a woman named Sarah answers.
When Sarah arrives from the faraway coast of Maine, she brings her cat, Seal, and a breath of fresh air to the dusty farm. She is plain and tall, just as she described herself in her letters, but she is also strong, kind, and full of wonderful stories about the sea. Caleb and Anna are instantly captivated by her and desperately hope she will decide to stay with them forever. But Sarah misses the ocean, and the children worry that the vast, rolling prairie will never truly feel like home to her.
This beautiful, heartwarming classic explores the gentle struggles of building a new family. It is a tender story about love, loss, and the quiet moments that bring people together.
