In the tradition of The Little Prince, The Pope and the Snowman is a book that can be read on several levels.

For adults, it is a story tracing the pope's loss of faith and his search to recover a sense of compassion and purpose. For children, it is a story in which the pope is given the opportunity to become a child again, rediscovering joy and hope in the faces of the children he meets.

In the end, with the help of the the snowman and the children of Rome, the pope makes a personal commitment with far reaching consequences for children everwhere.

The Pope and the Snowman includes 22 original illustrations by Richard Becker.

"This lovely and imaginative story shines like the Christmas star. And like the star, it will find and change your hesitant heart. Don't be suprised if you read this year after year and it becomes a cherished Christmas classic."

-Bill Tammeus, former Kansas City Star faith columnist
