Snow Ghost: The Most Heartwarming Picture Book of the Year

Description

Snow Ghost is looking for a home. Through the dark winter sky, she swoops and swirls, past the whirling traffic of town, into the dense, tangled wood and to the top of the blustery hill, searching endlessly to no avail. And then on the moors she spots a small farm where children are playing in the snow. She has found her home at last . . . An enchanting, lyrical story with stunningly beautiful artwork from Diana Mayo.

Tony Mitton was born in North Africa and has also lived in Germany and Hong Kong. Now settled in Cambridge, England, Tony has written a number of picture books, including the Amazing Machines series (Kingfisher). This is Tony's third book for Bloomsbury, following the much-loved Snow Penguin and Snow Bear. Diana Mayo is an established illustrator. She has worked for a broad spectrum of clients across the publishing, design and editorial industries, and has recently turned her creative hand to making illustrated ceramics. Diana enjoys teaching in schools and has been a visiting lecturer on BTEC and degree courses. She is based in Chelmsford, Essex.
