Winter's Child

Tom wishes that winter would last forever. He inhabits a winter wonderland full of sparkling snowflakes and iridescent icicles, magically portrayed by Grahame Baker-Smith. He uses a variety of media, including paint, dip-pens, pencil sketches and Photoshop, which he feels has opened up new possibilities in the careful creation of his illustrations.

Tom shares his snowy playground with another boy who appears mysteriously. The winter goes on and on and Tom’s Nana cannot keep warm. Can she stay alive if spring never comes? A picture book that celebrates the beauty of winter landscapes while showing why survival depends on the seasons shifting and changing.
