“Bestselling Author of the cherished holiday read, Christmas Time."
This book ‘SNOWMEN FOR GOALPOSTS,’ is a festive tribute to the messy, wonderful, and slightly chaotic magic of football in the snow.
As soon as the first proper snowflakes fall, we are out on the local park trying to play.
But the real fun doesn't start until we've all gone home. When the moon is high and the park is quiet, something truly magical happens. Our frozen field comes to life! The Snow Lads—the very snowmen we built and used as our goalposts—rise up, ready for the main event: the Snow Cup Final. They might be a bit wobbly, and their carrot noses might point in the wrong direction, but they are absolutely determined to play the perfect match under the twinkling stars.
Elizabeth Beresford gave us The Wombles. Raymond Briggs gave us The Snowman. Now, meet The Snow Lads.
Born from my original poem Football in the Snow, Snowmen for Goalposts is the story of what happens when the kids go home and the park goes quiet. The snowmen we built as goalposts come alive for their own midnight match!
It’s messy, it’s magical, and it’s full of festive football chaos. As an independent author, I wrote this hoping to capture the joy of a snowy kickabout. I hope you love reading it as much as I loved creating it.
