Raymond Briggs' charming Christmas story of the boy who builds a snowman who comes to life, and their adventures together, has become a children's classic.

Its popularity has been further enhanced by frequent television broadcasts of the award winning cartoon film The snowman.

In this music booklet of the classic theme song 'Walking in the Air' for Bb Trumpet (or Cornet) and piano, composer Howard Blake recreated the story in words and music based on the scenes from the film.
