Without giving away any spoilers, the plot starts as visiting Arizonian Phil Wellbright tries to do a good deed by building a snowman for the little girl next door on Christmas Eve. Poor Phil thinks the little girl is terribly sick, that her mother has been in an accident, and that her father has abandoned them. So earnest is his intention to do something to bring cheer to the child, that Phil’s friend Frankie decides to help build not just one snowman, but a whole snow-family!
What happens next is pure comic delight as the boys pursue their mission with admirable and zany determination.
The beautiful, full color cover artwork and inside sketches are by the wonderful illustrator Anne Zimanski. http://www.annezimanski.com/
