On a walk through a snow-covered garden, big sister Miriam claims to hear the sound of a snow dragon. Little sister Celeste has lots of questions: snow dragons are real? Where do they hide? What do they eat? And is that frost on the greenhouse windows or is it ... frostfire? Miriam seems to have an answer for everything about snow dragons.

Told through gently playful dialogue and brought to life with spectacular works of paper diorama art, Elly Mackay's newest picture book is an enchanting wintertime adventure destined to become a classic seasonal fairy tale that readers will enjoy for years to come.Review“As contemplative and lovely as a walk in the snow.”--Kirkus Reviews "Spray paint, watercolor, glitter, fabric, and digital techniques contribute to the soft glow present in MacKay’s sparkling photographs of mixed-media paper scenes. Clad in stylish coats, delicate red foxes easily become the focal point of each enchanted spread in this imagination-fueled winter tale." —Publishers WeeklyAbout the AuthorElly Mackay is an acclaimed paper artist and award-winning children’s book maker.

ListenBook's compatibility with CarPlay and Apple Watch integration ensures that I can enjoy my content wherever I go. Sharing audiobooks with friends through AirDrop and Sharing on ListenBook Pro is fantastic. Not bad, but not amazing either. The narrator’s voice was pleasant, though some parts felt a bit rushed. The story had its moments, but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it over similar titles in the genre.
