Released In Time For The Holidays… “The Snowman’s Song” A New Christmas Story A Gift for Children Of All Ages

California (PRLeap) December 13, 2006 — A little snowman inspires children to put their hearts into their dreams… What happens when a little snowman longs for a beautiful voice of his own in a world where everything is as silent as falling snowflakes? www.snowmanssong.com
This question is answered in a beautiful, powerful and joyful, unexpected way in the new children's picture book: "The Snowman's Song: A Christmas Story (ages 4 and up) by author Marilee Joy Mayfield, with illustrations by Tracy La Rue Hohn.

Mayfield says "The story of The Snowman's Song is a quest for a special voice, a unique identity for creative and spiritual expression. The snowman's dream becomes possible when a young girl loves him as he is and recognizes his inner music. Sometimes longed-for dreams do come true-the kindness, strength and encouragement of those who love us and who want the best for us makes miracles happen."

The book makes the first step in 'helping children find their voices' by the personalized message recorded for each child at the beginning of the story time audio CD read by the author. Mayfield emphasizes "I wish I could be there personally to share the snowman's story with every child this holiday season! By personalizing the book for them, it not only shows them this book was selected with love for them, but helps them begin to visualize the power of their own voice."


A former teacher, educational editor and the author of six books for children, Mayfield realized her lifelong dream of getting the snowman's feelings on paper as she worked closely with children's illustrator, Tracy La Rue Hohn. For more than a year La Rue Hohn brought the snowman to life with her heartfelt, soft, watercolor rendition of the snowman's world.
