Anu's Snowflake

Anu's Snowflake is an illustrated children's book about a baby seal, a snowflake, and the first Christmas.

When Anu the baby seal wakes up in a strange place, he's surprised to find everyone excited about a magical event to come—the birth of the Christ child! Everyone seems to have an idea for a gift, and when Anu decides to give the baby a snowflake, he sets off a journey to find the most perfect one before Christmas Day. With a sweet and wholesome story, accompanied by vivid illustrations, Anu's Snowflake explores the idea of the First Christmas, the birth of Christ, and how the Star of Bethlehem came to be.
