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.

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.
