BUYING ADVISORY: EL - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: SEVERAL
The little girl doesn’t want to get bundled up and go out into the cold, but does enjoy watching the ice carvers - until she realizes her little horse figurine is missing. When they return in the evening to see the final pieces, she is taken away by the wonder of the creations - and she finds another lovely surprise.
Kurpiel has a sweet, dreamy book with a tranquil color palette. I will enjoy looking at it again and again. I also like the representation as the main character, a white girl, uses a wheelchair, but that isn’t the point of the story.
