A snow globe can hold a tiny winter scene. In Deanne Hunter's “A Snow Globe of Wishes and Dreams,” it holds something far more precious: the wishes, dreams, and secret memories of children around the world.
Blending a love story with an imaginative telling of Christmas magic, Hunter invites readers into a snow- covered world where a young man's devotion leads him toward an extraordinary purpose.
The story begins in the stillness of a winter night. Stars shimmer overhead, evergreens stir beneath their snowy crowns, and Crystal Fairies emerge to greet Mysty Moon. When her light reaches the window of a young man named Nicholas, a brief encounter changes his life.
Captivated by the mysterious maiden, Nicholas waits for her return. When she appears again, he ventures into the bitter cold to follow her. His search takes him far from the warmth of his cabin and into a landscape where trees offer shelter, woodland beings extend a welcome, and childhood memories send snowflakes dancing through the air.
Yet the farther Nicholas travels, the more elusive Mysty Moon becomes. Her fading light leaves him with a promise to hold onto and a small bell that keeps her memory close.
Hunter builds the tale around a question that reaches beyond its magical setting: what happens when someone keeps a place in their heart for wonder, even as time passes? Nicholas's journey explores patience, devotion, and the lasting connection between childhood imagination and the generosity people carry into adulthood.
The book's opening pages offer a fitting introduction to that spirit. Hunter dedicates the story to her grandchildren, Charley, Shane, Sage, and Paiton, celebrating their imagination, inspiration, and joy. An opening quotation attributed to five-year-old Charley Peterson captures the idea in a child's own words:
“Look, Grammie, all my Christmas Wishes and Dreams.”
With Sage Hunter credited as artistic designer, the book pairs its wintry storytelling with a visual presentation that accompanies Nicholas's journey. Crystal ice, swirling snow, woodland companions, and a sleigh beneath the night sky give families plenty to discover together.
For readers choosing a seasonal gift or looking for a story to share during the holidays, “A Snow Globe of Wishes and Dreams” offers an invitation to slow down and enjoy the possibilities of an imagined world. Its Christmas setting opens a conversation about the memories families treasure and the happiness found in giving to others.
