Everyone loves a winter wonderland, but when March arrives in London and the streets are still covered in snow, ten-year-old Blessing worries about her mom’s extended stay in the hospital due to the bleak weather. Her concerns escalate when she spies something in the park she could never have imagined: a walking, talking, centuries-old snowman.
As it turns out, however, Albert and Blessing have similar goals: find a way to bring this unnaturally long winter to an end. This heartwarming middle grade fantasy novel builds an intriguing mythos around snowpeople, while also weaving in poignant themes about friendship, mental health, bullying, and foster care. Overall, a cozy winter read that’s perfect for the season.
