It’s snowing outside! Liam rushes out into the squall, determined to catch one perfect snowflake. He tries any number of tricks to complete his mission, but each time he is thwarted.

He sticks out his tongue and looks up… nope. He builds a snowman, climbing up to get a little closer to the snow… still nope. He runs around the yard – tongue still out – because faster is better, right? Wrong! Nothing seems to work. Until, in a final leap of faith, he catches that one flake… in a way he never expected. And the snowflake itself is pretty unexpected too.

A hilarious and satisfying story all about outdoor play and the natural world’s stunning surprises!
