About this book

Childless and sad an old Russian man and his wife watch the village children playing in the snow. One day they decide to make their own little snow girl. Imagine their amazement when her eyes start to shine her hair turns black and she comes alive! But as Little Daughter of the Snow tells them she isnt quite like other children: she plays outside all day and night and eats ice porridge for breakfast. This poignant retelling of Arthur Ransomes classic Russian tale with stylish illustrations by Tom Bower carries a strong message about the true value of love.
