Tugi the Elf and the 12 Golden Bells: The Stranger in the Snow

A stranger in the snow. A small act of kindness. The beginning of a very special friendship.

In The Stranger in the Snow, Tugi discovers the meaning of the first golden bell — Friendship. When he notices someone alone in the snowy Whispering Forest, he learns that friendship can begin with something as simple as stopping, reaching out, and making someone feel welcome.

As Tugi opens his heart to a new friend, the first golden bell begins to shine. The story gives preschool and early elementary children a gentle way to explore kindness, inclusion, and what it means to be a good friend.

Warmly illustrated and created for shared reading, Bell 1 is perfect for family read-alouds, cozy bedtime moments, and conversations about welcoming others. Bell 1 is part of Tugi’s twelve-story Advent journey and is also included in Tugi the Elf and the 12 Golden Bells — The Complete Advent Collection.
