Dallas Resident, Author Releases New Children's Book Titled 'Sonny The Snowflake'

DALLAS, GA — Dallas resident and children's author Krystal Gray has released her second book, and it's now available at Barnes and Noble.

After the successful release of her first book "Charlie the Chihuahua," Gray wrote "Sonny the Snowflake," an inspirational story teaching children about the importance of friendship and strength in adversity, Gray wrote on Facebook.

The story stars Sonny, a reluctant snowflake, and his best friend Sam. Sam has been growing much larger than Sonny, who realizes he's the smallest snowflake of everyone — and the sun is about to come out, putting him in danger of melting away, according to a summary on Gray's website.

Gray, who also illustrates her books, was born in Los Angeles and lived there for most of her life until moving to Chicago, Illinois to be near family. She and her spouse relocated to Dallas in spring 2021 after spending a winter in Chicago.

"My spouse and I moved from Los Angeles to be near family but quickly realized we would rather live in a warmer climate. That frigid winter is what paved the way to 'Sonny the Snowflake,'" Gray told Patch.

When not writing, Gray can be found hiking trails and perusing local museums and bookstores.

"Sonny the Snowflake" is being distributed worldwide by Ingram, and is available at Barnes and Noble online and in store. For more information about Gray and her books, visit krystalmgray.com.
