The snow image. A childish miracle

On a freezing winter afternoon two kids go out to play in the snow. But something strange happens: the snow figure they create comes to life. A book about the magic of childhood. And how common sense and good intentions could be a devastating force. A masterpiece by one of the greatest American authors of the XIX century, illustrated with evocative and poetic copperplate etchings by an award winning Japanese artist, here at her first experience with children’s book.
