The Roll-Away Snowman is a children's picture book written by Junia Wonders with illustrations by Daniela Volpari. The story follows Marla Little, a young girl who builds a snowman. Just as she is about to dress him up, a mischievous wind sprite blows her snowman away. Determined to bring him back, Marla chases after him. The snowman rolls away from her home and heads toward the town stores, where he encounters various shopkeepers who offer festive items to help dress him up. Marla expresses her gratitude to each shopkeeper but continues her pursuit of her beloved snowman. When he finally comes to a stop, Marla catches up to him and is thrilled to see his new look, adorned with buttons, a hat, a scarf, a carrot nose, and stick arms. Filled with joy, she makes a wish that makes her winter dreams come true.
The Roll-Away Snowman is a delightful story that will warm your heart. It is the second book in Junia Wonders' The Roll-Away series and offers a whimsical tale about winter adventures. Young readers will learn how to decorate a snowman and the importance of teamwork. Marla is an endearing character who shows appreciation to everyone who helps transform her snowman, and her beautiful wish reflects her compassionate nature. The book also includes educational elements, featuring a glossary of different words, mainly focusing on occupations and the names of shops mentioned in the narrative. One of the highlights of this book is the vibrant illustrations that bring the story to life. They possess a magical quality that aligns perfectly with the enchanting ambiance of winter. The sparkling lights, the swirling wind filled with soft whispers, and the unique snowflakes floating in the air collectively create a captivating atmosphere that draws readers into the story. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and highly recommend adding it to your family's holiday reading list.
