Hello everyone! We usually post a new episode every other week but this week I thought I'd share a holiday story that I wrote that was shared on the Story Time podcast. It's about a boy named Henry who is having a tough time in a new neighbourhood…but things start to change once he starts making the biggest snowball of his life!

It's read by my friend Rob Griffiths. If you like this or want to hear more bedtime stories, go over to bedtime.fm or find Story Time on Apple Podcasts. They have a lot of great stories that I think you'll really love! And you might hear me reading a couple of them!

But for now, I hope you enjoy my little story called The Snowball.

Happy holidays!

Peace out and peace within,

Chanel
