Amelie and Nanette: Snowflakes and Fairy Wishes

It's December.  Amelie and Nanette are excitedly preparing for the Christmas party - paper chains, tree decorations, presents and baking. Suddenly they notice it's snowing! Rushing outside, they build a snowman, throw snowballs and make snow angels. Nanette is so excited, she forgets her coat….

Come the party, Amelie's forlorn: Nanette's caught such a cold she's been kept at home. When Amelie and Pilou the dog are finally allowed to visit, they're wearing their fairy outfits, have finished Nanette's costume and bring presents from their classmates; everyone agrees that sharing Christmas with your best friend is better than anything - however snuffly!

Delicate, pastel illustrations with a Scandinavian feel express Christmas excitements, expectations - and disappointments - in this reassuring story about friendship and making the best of things.
