From a Kate Greenaway Medal winning illustrator comes a modern fable of winter s magic.
When Tom wishes winter would never end, he meets another boy who shares his love of snow and ice. Playing together every day, Tom doesn t care that spring hasn t come until he realizes the terrible effect the unending winter is having on his sick grandmother. When he realizes his friend is Winter s child, he knows they must say good-bye if the seasons are ever to change."
