Annie Silvestro... is a lyrical writer who knows exactly what kind of creative detail will spark a reader s imagination a little mouse makes ice skates out of pine needles! Teagan White s illustrations are warm and comforting, and push the cuteness factor into overdrive. A winner of a winter s tale. --USA Today
