In this charming story, Mother Nature worries that her sleeping 'babies' (plants and seeds) will be harmed by the mischievous Jack Frost as winter approaches. She sends an urgent message to Father Winter asking for warm blankets. Father Winter responds by sending the Snowflakes, who travel down to Earth on a cloud and gently cover the land. This beautiful white blanket keeps Mother Nature's babies safe and warm throughout their long winter nap, while also bringing joy to human children who delight in playing in the freshly fallen snow.
