This melancholic yet playful Nordic story is full of imaginatively-drawn characters who can fear loneliness, enjoy the obligations and joys of shared experience, and also feel the strong pull and rich pleasure of solitary experience, quietude, independence and making one's own fun.

Reading this book on what I hoped was last hot day of summer cooled me off and reminded me of things I'd forgotten I love so much about winter-- the secret, cozy nooks of a warm home where even stray dust balls can take on a magical feel, and the way a great dark blowing snow storm can make you feel like a hero in an epic adventure.

This book was somehow so magical. I don’t have anything else to say, I just love this world. It’s so comforting.
