When the mesmerising first snow of the year arrives, she is enthralled and delights in making a beautifully intricate snow girl, Alyana. Grandpa says that the first snow is powerful and wishes made on it always come true, if that’s true then maybe Tasha can finally have a friend of her own. As Tasha enjoys magical winter nights with her new friend, Grandpa’s health continues to fade, only spring can help him. But what will warmer days mean for Alyana?

Set against a beautiful snowy landscape, this tale of family, friendship, trust and accepting help will delight readers of all ages. The cast of characters leap from the page, and once again we enjoy Anderson’s celebration of loving and important intergenerational relationships. Likewise, strands of Slavic folklore are skilfully woven throughout the story, creating an enchanting story of magic and adventure.

Full of Sophie Anderson’s tell-tale magical, world building, this is a delicious wintry fairy tale, perfect for cold nights and sharing under cosy blankets.
