Page 3: One morning, the sun felt a little warmer on his snowy face.
Page 4: Drip went a snowflake from his hat. Drip went another from his arm.
Page 5: Sam was not scared. He had heard about spring from the birds.
Page 6: "When I melt, I will water the flowers," he said, quite proudly.
Page 7: Day by day, Sam grew smaller, but the garden grew greener.
Page 8: His scarf settled gently on the grass, like a soft, red blanket.
Page 9: His carrot nose lay beside a tiny sprout, ready to grow tall.
Page 10: In spring, red tulips bloomed where Sam had stood, waving hello.
