A beautiful festive picture book, perfect for enjoying snuggled under a blanket on a cold day.
Snow Ghost is looking for a home. The dark sky and tangled woods are too isolated and eerie, but a cosy, family farm might be the perfect place for her to settle.
Snow Ghost is full of beautiful illustrations, with muted colours and a soft, wintery feel. It would make a special addition to any bookcase and will be a book you'll want to pick up again and again.
The words are calm and soothing, making it a perfect bedtime story, and the overall message, about finding a place where you belong, is very sweet and comforting.
It reminded me of the illustrated version of Snow, by Walter de la Mare, but the really great thing about Snow Ghost is that, because it doesn't mention Christmas at any point, you can enjoy it in January and February, as well as December (and it's not too early to pick a copy up now!).
Thank you Bloomsbury for sending me an advanced digital copy to review.
Snow Ghost is written by Tony Mitton and illustrated by Diana Mayo
