One winter morning a little boy named James wakes up to find that everything outside has turned snow white. Overjoyed he rushes downstairs and out into the garden where he begins to build a snowman. 

That night James cannot sleep and at midnight he wakes up and decides to check on his snowman. 

He opens the back door leading into the garden and can’t believe his eyes …. the snowman has come to life! 

James finds himself face-to-face with the smiling snowman who with a polite doff of his hat introduces himself and signals the beginning of a magical friendship and a marvelous adventure.
