It's December 24th, and the old farmer settles down for a winter's nap, wondering how Christmas can come when there is no snow! In his dream he imagines a snowstorm covering him and his animals—named One, Two, Three, Four and Five—in a snowy blanket. But when the farmer awakens, he finds that it has really snowed outside, and now he remembers something! Putting on his red suit, he goes outside and places gifts under the tree for his animals, bringing holiday cheer to all. "Few in number are the parents who have made it through their toddler's years on just one copy of Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Dream Snow has similar ingredients: a simple story, lively collage-like illustrations and a fun gimmick for little hands . . ." —Time "This is a simple, well-told story about a simple farmer. . . . Viewers. . . will want to get their hands on it." —The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "Carle fans and toddlers learning the basics will . . . enjoy the gentle text and creative design features." —Booklist "The pictures are in Carle's trademark richly colored and textured collages that capture the snowy magic of Christmas." —Kirkus Reviews

She has been writing for her family and friends during the past twenty years. Her poetry and prose have been read in churches and homes across the country. She lives with her husband of 46 years in the beautiful Colorado mountains where she rides her horses, writes, and enjoys God's incredible creation.

Diane says, "God has been involved in my life since childhood. Many of the days he doggedly sought me, but commitment to him was slow to come. I have loved him, feared him, cursed him, taken him for granted, and finally given my life to him. He is my reason for living. My gratitude for his forgiveness and love reaches the depths of my soul."
