Snow settles over Cedar Street and turns the world bright. Amelie and her little brother Timothy build a snowman who opens his coal eyes and introduces himself as Mr. Button-Nose. In the shed rests a silver sleigh that answers brave voices. A clear bell rings, snowflakes rise like steps, and the three of them sail into the sky.
They cross chimneys and rooftops and meet Santa, who places a small star piece in their care. The journey home brings soft trials—a low branch, a curtain of fog, a hill that shows the town like a toy set—and a steady joy grows with every chime of the sleigh. Back in the yellow house, the star crowns the waiting tree and fills the rooms with warm, gentle light.
This cozy Christmas tale celebrates helpful hands, steady hearts, and the quiet magic that visits families who care for one another. Perfect for ages 5–8 and for shared reading on December nights, with lyrical language, friendly adventure, and a glow that lingers after the last page.
