Produktbeschreibung

The miracle of life finds expression in every living thing. Our spirits often lie dormant because of fear and hesitation to break out of whatever controls us. We dismiss our hopes and dreams and wait for years for them to grow within us and finally come to live.

That is the story of Snowman Jacks Returns. Snowman Jacks and the Merry Rabbit are good friends even though their personalities are different. Rabbit is active every day playing with family and friends, digging burrows, or searching for food. Jacks, however, just stands in place no matter how often Rabbit encourages him to run and have fun.

Finally, Jacks takes off and Rabbit is thrilled. Rabbit wonders if Jacks will return and knows he will miss his friend. Many months go by, and another winter arrives. Rabbit's desire to see Jacks again stays strong, and his faith that Jacks' spirit will revive comes true.

Jacks' return shows that his spirit cannot die, and he vows to return every winter and enjoy life.
