The First Snowflake of Winter

by Cendye Halley

When the first snowflake lands on Little Bigfoot’s nose, Christmas has arrived in the forest—and it’s time to gather his friends. Bubba Bear, Little Foot, Mr. Monkey, and Mr. Crocodile join him to find a grand pine and fill it with handmade decorations. The forest is ready to celebrate, but the special golden star meant for the top of the tree has vanished.

As daylight fades, the friends search through the snow and wonder whether their tree will be complete for Christmas Eve. Then a mysterious golden glow appears in the forest. Could it lead them to the missing star—and to an unexpected surprise?

The First Snowflake of Winter is a cozy woodland Christmas story about teamwork, festive traditions, and the joy of being together. With snowy forest scenes, friendly characters, handmade treasures, and songs beneath the stars, it’s a warm read-aloud for sharing with young readers during the holiday season.
