Snow Ghost cover

A timeless story of hope and belonging as Snow Ghost searches for a happy home. With Tony Mitton's lyrical rhyming text and sumptuous illustrations from Diana Mayo, this is a gift book to treasure

Snow Ghost came whispering out of the air,
"Oh, for a home to be happy but where?"

Flying through the swirling, snow-filled skies, Snow Ghost searches for a place to call home, swooping gracefully over the whirling traffic of town, winding her way through the dense, tangled wood and to the top of the blustery hill. Then on the quiet calm of the moors, she sees a girl and a boy playing. She breathes magic and sparkle into their play until it's time for them to stumble back home to bed. And while shimmers of moonlight cast their glittering light, Snow Ghost curls herself round the roof of the farmhouse. She has found her happy home at last.

A timeless story of hope and belonging, perfect for sharing with loved ones this winter.
