The story

The Myth of Jack Frost

Have you ever seen sparkly pictures on your window when you wake up. A little bit of white frost on the green grass. That is a secret hello from a special friend. His name is Jack Frost, and he is the artist of winter. He loves to fly on the chilly wind and get the world ready for snow. This is the story of Jack Frost.

When the days get colder, Jack Frost comes out to play. He is a happy little sprite who is very, very quiet. Shhh. No one can see him as he works. He has a tiny paintbrush made of sparkly ice. Swish, swish, swish. He tiptoes through the night and paints pretty pictures on every window. He paints swirly leaves and bright, shiny stars. He gently touches the puddles and turns them into slippery, glassy slides. He makes every little blade of grass go crunch, crunch, crunch when you walk on it.

In the morning, children wake up and see his beautiful art. Wow. The pretty frost means winter is coming. It is time for warm hats and cozy mittens. Jack Frost’s visit is not to make you cold. It is to show you how beautiful winter can be. His pictures are a happy hello. Hello, winter. Every time you see a sparkly window, you can smile. You know the playful Jack Frost is nearby, painting the world with his winter magic.
