Where Snow Angels Go
by Maggie O’Farrell (Author) and Daniela Jaglenka Terrazzini (Illustrator)
@ Amazon | Bookshop | IndieBound

Booktalk: In this modern fairy tale, one night Sylvie awakens to an incredible sight: a glowing figure tiptoeing across her floor, with enormous feathery wings wafting from his back. He’s muttering to himself, trying to remember his orders, for this is his first flight. Could he really be the same angel she made last winter in the snow? Sylvie’s angel says she isn’t supposed to see him. He has been sent to save her life, and when the danger is past, she won’t remember he was there. But she does remember. She thinks of him every day. And when nothing Sylvie does, no matter how risky, can make him reappear, she realizes he’ll always be there unseen when she truly needs him.

And because 2022 is turning out to be yet another tricky year for planning ahead, I’m beginning the spring semester by sharing a new mini-comic for readers to use with one of my books once a week.

This week’s mini-comic, I am thankful for my family, is a do-it-yourself mini-comic for young readers to illustrate. After you enter your contact info in the form, the mini-comics library will email you a download link. Print your comic on 8.5×11″ paper in full-color or gray-scale (black ink only). Enjoy!
