The approaching spring brings upon all snowmankind a physical and existential crisis! A warming world threatens the existence of the snow-people population and seems destined to doom their entire culture. In this story we follow along with Bizzy, a bright-eyed, young snow girl, as she navigates the shifting landscape of society as it devolves into chaos and anarchy. With some attempting to find refuge in the perpetual winter of the North Pole, where Santa governs with a dictatorial rule!

As Bizzy and her buddy Pete wind their way north in search of salvation, or something akin to it, they meet a number of snow people who face their melting. Those who are angry, others sad or unprepared, those who have religious awakenings, the self-absorbed and even the violent as these snow people prepare to meet the maker of their snowflakes!

This humorous fable examines the crisis of a species living in a warming world and how each member of society must come to peace with their own “melting.”
