ABOUT THE ILLUSTRATOR This is the tenth book on which Judith Weinshall Liberman, the author, has collaborated with Gail Davis, the illustrator. Since she did not feel that, in light of her deteriorated eyesight, she could do justice to illustrating A PARAKEET FOR ERIC herself, Ms. Liberman selected a fine artist, Ms. Gail Davis, to create the illustrations under the author's guidance. The two had previously collaborated on THE LITTLE FAIRY, on THE VERY OLD PAINTER AND HER HUSBAND, on ANGEL'S PUPPIES, on THE GIANT HOUSE, on THE MOUNTAIN, on THE TUNNEL, on THE OLD DOLL, on FIFTEEN FABLES, and on TWELVE MORE FABLES In the present book, Ms. Davis beautifully captures the spirit of the story and its characters.

ABOUT THE BOOK LUCY AND THE SNOWMAN tells the story of a young girl who is lonely and, on a snowy day, when school has been canceled, plays alone in her back yard and builds a snowman. The snowman turns out to be a very special snowman, who can converse with Lucy and thus drive away her loneliness. When Lucy returns to school and tells her classmates about her conversation with the snowman, nobody seems to believe her. Ultimately Lucy realizes that what really matters is not whether others believe her, but rather what she herself knows in her heart to be true.
