A cozy winter adventure that celebrates friendship, empathy, and the magic of giving.
Julia loves winter--snowflakes, sled rides, and sparkling trees. But this year, she's feeling lonely without her usual forest friends. When she learns that animals struggle to find food in the snow, Julia sets out to deliver a surprise to Bertrand the bear. But will she get there on her own--or will a new friendship help her reach her goal?
Little Hearts in the Snow captures the quiet magic of winter and the warmth of kindness, with dazzling illustrations and a gentle, hopeful message. Readers will delight in this tale of giving and connection, and be inspired to show compassion toward others--furry and human alike.
