Footprints in the Snow (Hot Air Balloon Adventure Stories)

A children’s book about friendship, kindness, adventure and an abominable snowman Praise for the Hot Air Balloon Adventure series: “I think these are just wonderful. I love the spirit of adventure, combined with everyday details and I’m sure children from the equator to the poles (and everywhere in-between) will be carried away by the tales.” – James Mayhew “Annahita’s books inspire young girls to dream big and be brave and most importantly to have fun along the way!” – Jade Hameister Where do you go if you want to go snowboarding in spring? Iceland of course! And that’s just where cousins Alice, Hannah and Rosie are headed in this third delightful Hot Air Balloon Adventure story. Having tired themselves out climbing up and speeding down countless mountains on their splitboards, the cousins and Roger the cat sit down for a well-deserved break. But when they get up to leave, they cannot find Grandma’s backpack anywhere. There are giant footprints in the snow though… Join the girls and Roger as they meet Fred the abominable snowman, and learn that even the largest of giants need the gentle kindness of good friends. A truly touching story about the importance of empathy, forgiveness, treating each other as equals, and not judging people based on appearance. A perfect story for reading together with 4-8 year old children who love the challenge of bigger words and the depth of a longer story, but still thoroughly enjoy the delight of beautiful illustrations on every page.
