I didn't think I'd be including reviews of children's books in my repertoire. I've previously posted a cover reveal of Snowflake's Big Adventure by Erin Mackey. Like before, this post is part of a Reading Between the Lines blog tour organised by Lynsey Adams.

Sometimes going out into the world is scary, but it can also be exciting.
We all worry about our place in the world and Little Snowflake is no different. When the day comes for him to fall to Earth for the very first time, he’s filled with worry and wonder. Guided by Mama Snowflake, Little Snowflake and the others anticipate their destination. He knows the possibilities are endless and wishes he could do them all. There are so many things he could be, but will any of it be meaningful? Will he be satisfied with his destiny?
Snowflake’s Big Adventure is a fun and engaging picture book that helps children grapple with the age old question: “What is my purpose?” It teaches, them how to overcome anxiety and trust the wisdom of those around them. Combining beautiful pictures with powerful life lessons, this book could be your child’s next lifelong favourite.
Review
I don't really have much to say about this book without cluttering the review by reading too deep or getting cynical about the themes. It's a relatively short read and pretty much does what it advertises; A snowflake falls from the sky and contemplates their purpose in life. In their case, this could be landing on a hill used for sledging, or being made into a snow angel or a snowman. It explores the possibilities. I must confess that as a recent university graduate, the message is one that kind of resonates with me at the moment. All in all, it's kind of wholesome.
Snowflake's Big Adventure is available here.
