Read an Excerpt

"Like all Ifts, Snutt was an explorer.
Unlike all Ifts, Snutt was a dreamer...
and for this reason Snutt travelled further,
and more hopefully, than any other Ift."

Editorial Reviews

Snutt voyages to a distant planet to discover what he can—wonderful tuffetills, blossibums, and flewimols—only to find that he’s terribly lonely away from home. When he eventually meets a Waft, with whom he can share his beautiful surroundings, Snutt learns the meaning of contentedness. Gorgeously detailed illustrations.” - ForeWord Reviews

“Taking readers from a desperately lonely place to the soaring heights of wonder and excitement, Snutt the Ift provides unparalleled emotion and depth of character. Helen Ward’s beautiful story is partnered with sensational illustrations that invite readers to discover a strange new world. The Gelett Burgess Center is honored to name this outstanding children’s picture book as our Book of the Year.” - Gelett Burgess
