Frostfire by Elly MacKay

In Frostfire by Elly MacKay, sisters Miriam and Celeste set out into their snowy garden on a winter’s day. Miriam knows quite a lot about dragons. Celeste is curious enough to follow. And somewhere among the snow-covered plants, frosty branches, and quiet corners of the garden, a snow dragon just might be waiting to be discovered.

Part winter nature walk and part wonderfully imaginative adventure, Frostfire captures that particular kind of childhood magic that happens when the familiar world is looked at a little differently. A garden becomes a landscape to explore, snow and ice become clues, and two sisters discover just how much can be found when curiosity leads the way.

A beautiful choice for children who love dragons, winter, gardens, nature, imaginative play, and magical stories, Frostfire makes a thoughtful birthday or holiday gift - and a wonderful invitation to bundle up, step outside, and see what might be hiding in your own winter garden.
