Winter's Child | Angela Mcallister

From the Greenaway Medal winner, 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 hardly notices that spring doesn't come - until he realises the terrible effect the delay is having on the countryside and his sick grandma.
His friend is Winter's child, and for the seasons to go on the friends must say goodbye until next year.
