Not sure about the orphanage setting. Love the idea of a fairy godmother character being a dragon though.

At Griselda Bone's awful orphanage Pheobe and her dancing sausage dog Herb have very little to look forward to; after all daydreaming is banned, skipping is forbidden, and Christmas has been cancelled! But when The Snow Dragon appears Pheobe knows that adventure cannot wait! Will the Snow Dragon's magic be enough to bring Pheobe and Herb their very own Miracle Day?
With shades of Roald Dahl's Matilda and the other-worldliness of Enid Blyton's Faraway tree this is a book both kids and adults will love all through the year, not just at Christmas.
Gorgeously illustrated by Fiona Woodcock, this lovely Christmas magic story is perfect for parents to read or for children who love a magical tale. The story is wordier than most picture-story books so very young children might struggle to pay attention for the whole story but it is ideal for primary aged kids and up.

Um lindo conto de Natal que nos traz muita esperança de tempos melhores. Amo narrativas com dragões, e esta é maravilhosa.

A very touching story about an orphan girl. Very sad to start with and can be quite distressed for some kids. The adventure part was really magical, and also highlights the miracles of seeing and feeling more of nature. The artwork is just amazing. All up, a very good story for young kids to learn the #1 thing they take for granted: having a mum and a dad.

Nella Casa per Randagi di Griselda Bone (dove i randagi sono bambini e la casa altro non è che un orfanotrofio) vive Phoebe, una bimba di sette anni con i capelli bianchi come gocce di neve e occhi grandi e tondi come pozzanghere. Griselda è una donna severa e crudele; nella sua casa è proibito fantasticare, saltare, giocare e festeggiare il Natale. Phoebie è molto triste e passa il suo tempo a domandarsi se mai riuscirà a trovare una famiglia che la ami come il suo dolce e danzante bassotto Herb. Ma proprio quando tutto sembra perduto, ecco che accade la magia.

The snow dragon è un’avventura incantata sull’importanza dei desideri e dei sogni che sono il carburante che tiene viva la fiamma della speranza. Una storia magica che parla ai cuori di grandi e piccini attraverso le parole di Abi Elphinstone e le delicate illustrazioni di Fiona Woodcock.
