Matthew Cordell.
Lonely Toby (his best friend has moved away) is invited to play with a bunch of freshly fallen snowflakes. Although they all melt the next day, Toby finds a new (human) friend in their place. Distinctive images of a red-garbed Toby match a bold text that portrays the snowflakes as happy-go-lucky characters ("'See ya, Sheila.' 'Next time around, Yolanda'") embracing their ephemeral nature.
