Have you ever woken up suddenly, in the middle of the night, without knowing why? Best-selling and award-winning author of Hamnet, Maggie O'Farrell weaves an extraordinary and compelling modern fairy tale about the bravery of a little girl and the miracle of a snowy day.

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?

Reviews for Where Snow Angels Go

'As perfect as a snowflake. As magical as snow. Maggie O'Farrell has written an instant classic that will live on in the hearts and imaginations of readers.' * M. G. Leonard * A longer length picture book for older children, it has a feel of a contemporary fairytale and a real sprinkle of Christmas magic, enhanced by Terrazzini's gorgeously detailed art and lavish production values. Fiona Noble also featured Where Snow Angels Go in her introduction calling it one of her two 'winter treats' in 2020. -- Fiona Noble * The Bookseller * [...] a gorgeous, modern-day fairytale picture book. * The Irish Independent * This tale addresses children's fears for themselves, but also their impulse to make others safe. Tender and reassuring, in the images and the text, it feels timely for 2020, but has the magic of such classic Christmas tales as The Snow Queen, The Snowman and It's a Wonderful Life. * The Sunday Times & The Sunday Times Ireland * Maggie O'Farrell's first children's venture, a long-read picture book, is a meditation on risk and resilience with beautiful, timeless illustrations from Daniela Jaglenka Terrazzini [...] The perfect winter story. * The Times & The Irish Times *
