Summary

Snowy Gnomes are quiet creatures who only gather once a month. The rest of the time, they happily keep to themselves — especially Snickery, who likes his peaceful, snowy routines just the way they are.

But everything changes when Snickery discovers a lost elf shivering in the snow with a terrible cold. Kind-hearted Snickery offers him a cozy place to rest until he’s well again.

There’s just one problem: the elf is cheerful, curious, and very talkative! As questions pile up and snowflakes fall, Snickery must decide whether to send his guest on his way—or open his door (and his heart) to an unexpected new friendship.

A gentle, wintry tale about kindness, differences, and the magic of making a friend. ❄️✨

Happy Holidays everyone!!
