The Snowflake Benji Davies

A snowflake begins its journey through the winter sky while a little girl waits for Christmas with hopes of her own. Their paths draw towards one another in Benji Davies's gently atmospheric story, where drifting, wishing and finding the right place are part of the magic. Warm pictures and a quiet sense of anticipation make this a lovely seasonal read about belonging and small moments that can feel extraordinary.

Age suitability and learning: Preschool (3-5), Primary (6-8). The illustrated story suits shared reading with younger children and more independent exploration as reading grows. Following events encourages prediction, sequencing and vocabulary; discussing the characters gives children practice recognising feelings and considering other perspectives.
