Snow Struck on The Reading Life
Neither Elizabeth nor her little brother, Matty, have ever been north of Georgia. They’re used to sandals and shorts, not boots and parkas. So when they fly to New York City to spend the holidays with their cousin Ashley, they want to experience one thing: SNOW!
Ashley can’t wait to show her cousins how magical Manhattan is at Christmastime. But instead of a week of fun, what they get is an arctic blast that knocks out the power and plunges the skyscrapers into darkness. It’s unreal: the blizzard covers the Statue of Liberty in ice and topples the famous Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center!
When Ashley’s dog, Fang, gets lost outside, the cousins take matters into their own hands… and are caught in the storm’s dangerous path as they chase Fang across the frozen city. Can the little Pomeranian survive the cold, snow, and ice blanketing Manhattan? Can they?
Official Snow Struck and Storm Blown Merch!
A bunch of people asked me if I was going to make shirts after they downloaded the free Storm Blown and Snow Struck Coloring Book . . . so I designed a bunch of shirts based on those illustrations and started up a store on TeePublic. I’ve tried out a bunch of different options and everything is super-soft (even the classic tee — pictured below in charcoal heather) and the prints came out awesome!
If you’re interested in ordering, you can see all of the designs here.*
* Sizing note: If you’re ordering classic, the fit is true-to-size. If you’re ordering the women’s “extra soft” tri-blend, I might suggest ordering a size up (that’s what TeePublic recommends and it seems to be the way to go!).
