MEADVILLE, Pa., Nov. 28, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Snow Boy": a probing Christmas story about a discarded child. "Snow Boy" is the creation of published author David Muus Martinson, a retired educator and children's book writer from Alaska with a passion for cartooning and illustrating in ink and airbrush.

Martinson writes, "Snow Boy is the name of the Down's syndrome child given to him by the community. No one knew he existed until the snow drift started to thaw. He had been locked up in an attic all his life, away from society and out of sight."

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, David Muus Martinson's new book is a haunting, moving story about the sanctity of all life and the depths of misunderstanding or plain blindness that often hinders a community from recognizing this truth.

Ultimately, Arnold the "Snow Boy" has a special purpose accomplished through his short, innocent, and precious life as the people who discover him work together to prepare for his funeral and ponder on the lesson that Arnold unwittingly leaves behind for them.
