A very touching story about an orphan girl. Very sad to start with and can be quite distressed for some kids. The adventure part was really magical, and also highlights the miracles of seeing and feeling more of nature. The artwork is just amazing. All up, a very good story for young kids to learn the #1 thing they take for granted: having a mum and a dad.

Nella Casa per Randagi di Griselda Bone (dove i randagi sono bambini e la casa altro non è che un orfanotrofio) vive Phoebe, una bimba di sette anni con i capelli bianchi come gocce di neve e occhi grandi e tondi come pozzanghere. Griselda è una donna severa e crudele; nella sua casa è proibito fantasticare, saltare, giocare e festeggiare il Natale. Phoebie è molto triste e passa il suo tempo a domandarsi se mai riuscirà a trovare una famiglia che la ami come il suo dolce e danzante bassotto Herb. Ma proprio quando tutto sembra perduto, ecco che accade la magia.

The snow dragon è un’avventura incantata sull’importanza dei desideri e dei sogni che sono il carburante che tiene viva la fiamma della speranza. Una storia magica che parla ai cuori di grandi e piccini attraverso le parole di Abi Elphinstone e le delicate illustrazioni di Fiona Woodcock.
