Katrina and the Snowman





Anna's favorite holiday book is called "Christmas Magic" by Michael Garland. It has beautiful, rich illustrations and the story has just the right elements to make a young girl want to read it over, and over, and over, and....well, you get the point. A young girl named Emily builds a snow-woman and names her Katrina. The magic of Christmas Eve brings Katrina and the neighbor's snowman to life, and they spend the night all dancing together in the glittering snow. My synopsis doesn't give this lovely story justice, but if you need any more convincing of how wonderful it is, just ask our resident book critic. Today it snowed a few inches; just enough to roll out a couple of small snow-persons. Anna was determined to make our own Katrina and the snowman in our back yard. Who knows, maybe tonight some Christmas Magic will happen at the Sage home.
