The Story of the Snow Children cover

Poppy's enchanting adventure in The Story of the Snow Children takes her to a magical kingdom filled with snow children and whimsical delights.

In The Story of the Snow Children, Poppy discovers that the snowflakes in her garden are actually snow children. As she watches the snow fall from her window, she is enchanted by their dance and soon finds herself whisked away to the Snow Queen's magical kingdom. There, she experiences a world filled with wonder, where snowmen serve a delightful feast and she dances joyfully with the snow princess. This enchanting journey captures the essence of childhood imagination and the beauty of winter.

As Poppy explores the sparkling ice palace, she revels in the magic surrounding her. The snow children introduce her to a realm where nature comes alive, and every moment is filled with joy and adventure. However, as the excitement of the kingdom unfolds, Poppy begins to feel a pang of homesickness. Understanding her longing, the Snow Queen graciously sends her back home on a silver sleigh pulled by gentle snow bears, ensuring her safe return to her mother.
