Coloring page story
The great snow flurry of Christmas Eve was over. The world below was a perfect, unbroken blanket of white. In the now-thinning cloud, only one tiny snowflake remained: Whisper. She was the smallest and the last. "It's too late," she sighed. "The world is already beautiful. There's no room for me. I'm too small to make a difference."
With a heavy heart, she finally let go, drifting slowly down on the still Christmas morning air. She saw the finished snowmen, the decorated trees, the smoke rising from chimneys where families were waking up. Everything was already complete. She felt invisible, pointless. She floated towards a window where an old man stood, looking out. A single tear rolled down his wrinkled cheek. "Another Christmas," he murmured to himself, his voice thick with memory.
Whisper didn't have a grand destination. She simply drifted down and landed, ever so gently, right on the old man's tear. The sudden, tiny chill of her touch made the man blink. He looked down, and through his blurry eyes, he saw the perfect, tiny star of a single, fresh snowflake on his window ledge. It was the last, most delicate piece of the Christmas magic. He smiled, a real, warm smile. "Thank you," he whispered to the tiny snowflake. Whisper knew then that it's never too late, and no one is ever too small, to bring a little bit of comfort and joy on Christmas morning.

Colored pencils are wonderful for this illustration, as they allow for soft shading on the man's face and sweater, which can enhance the gentle mood. Crayons are also a great choice, especially for the background snow. A single silver or light blue crayon would be perfect for Whisper.
