Dopscotch Press is proud to announce the publication of its very first book- Flakey the naked Snowman. Not since the Island of Misfit Toys has there been a more lovable holiday underdog than Flakey. As the title suggests- Flakey has no clothes!... no hat, no scarf... nothing that gives him any identity or personality. But there's a reason for it. In the end, you'll learn that his misfortune is really the result of his most generous act of giving.

Cleverly animated and beautifully photographed, it's a story that speaks not only to children, but to the kid in all of us. With endearing characters such as Mrs. BrrrBerry and Fridge, the story entertains while teaching us all that the best Christmas presents are the gifts we already have.

Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or Festivus- this special time of year is about the gifts we've been given, and the gifts we can all give back- gifts of love, friendship, time, and talents. The overall goal for this book is to mainstream the idea of alternate giving. In the spirit of Flakey and his friends, consider giving this book as part of a larger gift- a donation to an important charity or organization. Check out the Alternative Giving section of this website for more ideas.

Dopscotch Press is also donating 20% of all proceeds from sales to several worthy organizations helping those in need.
