Pienet karhunpennut ovat innoissaan, kun viimein alkaa sataa lunta. Joulu on jo ovella. Karhujen mökissä koristeet kimaltavat, ja kuusen juurella paketit odottavat avaamista. Uunista leijuu herkullisia tuoksuja, ja tuli rätisee kotoisasti takassa. Puuttuu vain yksi ainoa asia... Tunnelmallinen kuvakirja kertoo siitä, miten lumisateen voi saada aikaan hartaasti toivomalla.
