Where Snow Angels Go

Description: "Sylvie wakes one night, suddenly, without knowing why. Then she sees the most spectacular sight - a pair of wings, enormous in size, made of the softest snow-white feathers imaginable. An angel in her bedroom--a Snow angel! He tells her that he is here to look after her, for Sylvie is not as well as she seems. Many months later, as Sylvie recovers from her illness, she longs to see her snow angel again. He saved her life! There is so much she wants to tell him, so much she wants to know! Will he ever come back to her? And how can Sylvie make sure that everyone she loves has their own snow angel, to keep them safe, too?"--Provided by publisher.

Review Quotes: O'Farrell's touching, slightly eerie story is rendered beautifully by Daniela Jaglenka Terrazzini. . . . Since its artwork is paired so well with the poetry of the words, 'Where Snow Angels Go' has the feel of a timeless bedtime story.
--The New York Times Book Review

Using line, color washes, and arresting perspectives, the illustrations in this lengthy picture book deftly convey the realism of Sylvie's world, the wonder of her snow angel, and the sweetness of their bond in scenes of drama as well as stillness. . . . An appealing contemporary fairy tale told with humor and warmth.
--Kirkus Reviews

Graceful ink and watercolor spreads by Terrazzini (The Seeing Stick) give pre-Raphaelite romance to the tall angel and to Sylvie's soulful eyes and honey-colored hair. O'Farrell's lengthy, storybook-style narration and winning dialogue ("I really had no idea that you would be so talkative," the angel sighs) similarly give life to this witty exploration of godlike power and what it's good for.
--Publishers Weekly

A captivating illustrated story. . . hopeful.
