Frostyline Fable, a round and cheerful snowman with coal-button eyes, an orange carrot nose, a red knit scarf, and a jaunty purple top hat, stands smiling in front of his round snow-house with a bright gumdrop rooftop and a red-and-white candy-cane fence. In the background, a cozy snow village with round snow-houses, gumdrop rooftops, candy-cane fences, glittering snowdrifts, and warm golden light in every frosty window.

Frostyline Fable lived in a snowy village at the bottom of a gentle hill. His round little snow-house had a gumdrop rooftop and a candy-cane fence. Soft snowdrifts glittered like sugar in the sunlight. Frostyline Fable loved to explore every sparkly path and every frosty corner.

Frostyline Fable, a round and cheerful snowman with coal-button eyes, an orange carrot nose, a red knit scarf, and a jaunty purple top hat, looks up with wide surprised eyes and a big open smile. In the background, the warm golden glow inside the round snow-house with a bright gumdrop rooftop.

One morning, Mama and Papa had big news. "Frostyline Fable, you are going to be a big brother!" they said. "A baby sister is coming home. She is made of the freshest, fluffiest snow!" Frostyline Fable's coal-button eyes went wide. A sister? For him?

A tiny, round baby snowman with little dark pebble eyes, a teeny orange carrot nose, tiny twig arms, and a pale pink knit bonnet, nestled in a fluffy white snow-blanket. In the background, the cozy inside of the round snow-house with warm golden light flickering from frosty windows.

Soon, the baby came home. She was tiny and round. She had little pebble eyes and the smallest carrot nose. Everyone crowded around. "Ooh!" they said. "Aah!" they said. "She is so soft and new!"

Frostyline Fable, a round and cheerful snowman with coal-button eyes, an orange carrot nose, a red knit scarf, and a jaunty purple top hat, sits alone on a small glistening ice-bench, looking down with a worried face. In the background, a soft golden glow from the frosty windows of the round snow-house with a bright gumdrop rooftop.

Frostyline Fable felt wiggly inside. Mama was busy with the baby. Papa was busy with the baby. His cozy spot on the ice-bench felt smaller now. "Where do I fit?" he whispered.

Frostyline Fable, a round and cheerful snowman with coal-button eyes, an orange carrot nose, a red knit scarf, and a jaunty purple top hat, walks slowly along a sparkly winding path between glittering snowdrifts. In the background, red-and-white candy-cane fences lining the path and round snow-houses with gumdrop rooftops.

He walked outside to his favorite sparkly path. The snowdrifts still glittered like sugar. The candy-cane fences still smelled sweet. "Everything looks the same," said Frostyline Fable. "But everything feels different." And that was okay. Big feelings are okay. Even wiggly ones.

A tiny, round baby snowman with little dark pebble eyes, a teeny orange carrot nose, tiny twig arms, and a pale pink knit bonnet, sitting in a small snow-cradle with her mouth open wide, crying. In the background, the warm cozy inside of the round snow-house with golden light.

Then Frostyline Fable heard a sound. Waah! Waah! The baby was crying. It was loud! It was squeaky! Mama rocked her. Papa patted her. But the baby kept crying. Waah! Waah!

Frostyline Fable, a round and cheerful snowman with coal-button eyes, an orange carrot nose, a red knit scarf, and a jaunty purple top hat, leans gently toward the small snow-cradle, singing with his mouth in a soft round O shape. In the background, the warm golden glow of the snow-house interior with tiny sparkles drifting in the air.

Frostyline Fable had an idea. He tiptoed close. He took a deep breath. And he sang a soft, slow song. "Hush, little snowflake, soft and small. You are the prettiest flake of all." The baby stopped crying. She looked right at him! Her little pebble eyes sparkled.

A shimmering, sparkling icicle rattle, long and clear like crystal with tiny silver bells at the end, catching golden light and casting little rainbow sparkles. In the background, a soft blur of warm golden light inside the cozy snow-house.

"She likes you!" said Mama. Frostyline Fable felt something warm and tingly. Maybe he could help! He ran to find his favorite icicle rattle. It jingled and jangled and shimmered in the light. He held it out for his sister. Jingle, jingle, jingle! She wiggled her tiny twig arms and smiled.

Frostyline Fable, a round and cheerful snowman with coal-button eyes, an orange carrot nose, a red knit scarf, and a jaunty purple top hat, gently holds the tiny twig hand of the small baby snowman with little dark pebble eyes, a teeny orange carrot nose, and a pale pink knit bonnet. In the background, soft glittering snowdrifts visible through a frosty window with warm golden light.

The next day, Frostyline Fable tried something new. He reached out and gently held her tiny twig hand. It was so small! It was so soft! Her little fingers curled around his. "Hello, little sister," he said. "I am right here." And she squeezed his hand tight.

A small glistening ice-bench, smooth and pale blue like frozen crystal, with a cozy red-and-white striped cushion on top. In the background, the warm golden interior of the round snow-house with a candy-cane fence visible through the open door.

Papa sat next to Frostyline Fable on the ice-bench. "You know what?" said Papa. "When you feel wiggly or mixed-up, you can always tell us. We will always have time for you." Frostyline Fable snuggled close. The ice-bench did not feel so small anymore.

A round snow-house with a bright gumdrop rooftop and a red-and-white candy-cane fence, glowing with warm golden light from every frosty window, looking extra cozy against the soft blue night sky. In the background, the snowy village with other round snow-houses twinkling with warm light under a sky full of gentle stars.

That night, Frostyline Fable looked around. Mama was here. Papa was here. His baby sister was here. His snow-family did not get smaller. It got bigger! And bigger felt warmer. Bigger felt like more hugs, more songs, and more love.

Frostyline Fable, a round and cheerful snowman with coal-button eyes, an orange carrot nose, a red knit scarf, and a jaunty purple top hat, whispers gently to the tiny baby snowman with little dark pebble eyes, a teeny orange carrot nose, tiny twig arms, and a pale pink knit bonnet, nestled in her fluffy white snow-blanket. In the background, a frosty window showing the sparkling snowy village with glittering snowdrifts under soft starlight.

Frostyline Fable leaned close to his baby sister. "One day," he whispered, "I will show you every sparkly path. Every gumdrop rooftop. Every candy-cane fence. We will explore it all together." Her tiny pebble eyes blinked. And somewhere outside, the snowdrifts glittered — waiting for them both.
