The Snow Lord and the Spring Fairy

After the Paradise Prince lost his princess in a tragic accident, he couldn't bear to live on their beautiful, tropical island anymore. Grief-stricken, he moved to the most desolate place on earth-the Antarctic. Now known as the Snow Lord, he lives in an ice castle with his only friend, an albatross named Riley. Evolet, the Spring Fairy, knew her crocus bulbs couldn't survive in the Snow Lord's icy domain, but she planted them anyway. Furious at seeing the colorful blossoms peeking up through the snow, the Snow Lord captures the Spring Fairy and puts her in a cage. Unless Evolet can find a way to escape, there won't be any spring flowers this year. The Snow Lord and the Spring Fairy gently confronts the difficult emotions that come with the loss of a loved one. Evolet's determination, compassion and sense of responsibility make her the hero in this story. Today's female generation needs strong, positive role models to emulate, and boys must learn what qualities make a good man. As Lisa Brooks's readers have come to expect, this action-filled fantasy teems with compelling real-world facts that will fascinate children and encourage them to understand themselves as empowered stewards of the natural world.
