About "The Robert's Snow Project"
The Robert's Snow project asks children's illustrators to design snowflakes each year to help raise money for cancer. Different children's literature blogs have been asked to adopt a snowflake. Elizabeth was gracious enough to adopt mine for a preview viewing.

You can see all the snowflakes being auctioned off this year at The Offcial Robert's Snow website.
