The Snow Fox

Left alone when his friends hibernate, Nico the fox makes a friend from snow and befriends a real snow fox in the process.

Nico is a little red fox that spends spring, summer and autumn with his three friends, Ava, Olive and Linus. When his woodland friends hibernate for the winter, Nico is left all alone in a snowy wonderland. He unsuccessfully searches for a friend to keep him company during the long winter. To pass time, Nico builds a fox from snow. Little does he know, he’s about to become friends with a real snow fox. A story about cherishing old friends, perseverance, and making new friends.

• A charming story about cherishing old friends and making new ones, set during the start of winter hibernation when fox’s usual friends are getting ready to take a season off.
• Exquisite, gentle, beautifully designed illustrations.
• A story with a relaxing tone that takes readers through the four seasons.

“Shojaie’s debut picture book gently extols the virtues of making different friends in different seasons of life.” —Publishers Weekly(U.S.)

“The illustrations, rendered in soft, pale washes of tan, gray, green, and white, evoke an ethereal, indistinct woodland background, enhancing the still atmosphere of the spare text. … A quiet tale of friendship with a delightful surprise twist.” —Kirkus Reviews (U.S.)
