After breakfast she starts building a snowman -- and soon realizes that it's easier and more fun to do with some help!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOther kids join in to help roll the balls that make up the snowman's body. A passing teenager helps them reach to place the head. Then more neighbors come along and each contribute something unique from their packed lunches or winter ensembles: a pickle for a nose, bagel halves for the ears, lychee buttons, a shawl ...\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe final touch comes in the form of a poppy pin placed by a veteran over the snowman's heart. The snowman smiles as the community members pause to admire their work. And when the crowd disperses, the girl and her grandfather stay behind to share a snack and warmth with someone who needs them.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInspired by a real \"community snowman\" built by neighbors, author Deborah Kerbel has crafted a narrative about serendipitous connections, working together and paying it forward.
